retailer Stunning Turkish handmade and hand-painted china plate with the famous 'The Tortoise Trainer' painted and shaped in the classıc kütahya style.
This decorative Plate would look stunning in any room with its bright colours and detailed design.
The Original 'The Tortoise Trainer' (Kaplumbağa Terbiyecisi) is a painting by Osman Hamdi Bey, which was created in 1906 and 1907 (two versions). In 2004 it was sold for $3.5M and is currently displayed at the Pera Museum in Istanbul.
In the Tortoise Trainer, Osman Hamdi Bey satirises the slow and ineffective attempts at reforming the Ottoman Empire, through the attempts of an anachronistic historical character to train tortoises. The painting depicts an elderly man in traditional Ottoman religious costume. He holds a traditional ney flute with which he is attempting to "train" the tortoises at his feet.
