Modestly enlarged image can be found at the only work, by this artist, so far, to appear in Mr. Melcher’s blog (yesterday).The Tortoise Trainer (link shows painting’s Wikipedia page) is shown, with a different coloration, click-to-enlarge image (click-to-humongous image compliments of its Google Cultural Institute page), and described, by its current-location page.The Google translation, of the painting’s Turkish Wikipedia page, has more, including a discussion of the other version; but, doesn’t read much better than the Bing translation. Click-to-enlarge images of both versions (including a thumbnail pointer to a different coloration of the first) can be seen by clicking the images there, and then the image in the displayed page.Another different coloration, click-to-enlarge image can be found here, along with a somewhat different description. Another different coloration smaller image can be found here, along with a description.The artist’s Wikipedia page (Google translation of the Turkish Wikipedia page has more; but again, doesn’t read much better than its Bing translation) and collection (more under Subcategories).
