- Support interesting painting by a famous artist, great quality digitization. The painting apparently shows mountains in Georgia (the country). -- Buidhe (talk) 06:44, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
- Support per nom. Strange that none of the people have faces; that could be making a significant point about how the painter and other Russians regarded Muslim subjects in conquered lands. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:25, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
- Not sure how we can tell they're Muslim. I notice that one person appears to be wearing a headscarf, but most of Georgia's population is Orthodox Christian and (especially in the past) Orthodox Christian women also wear such garments. Buidhe (talk ) 08:00, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
- +1 to that. In Jordan, the women in the Christian minority also wear head-covering garments; it's how they wear them that distinguishes them from Muslim women. Daniel Case (talk) 17:46, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
- Fair points, but still a subject people in Czarist Russia. Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:40, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

- Support When i see Aivazovsky i think on sea and ships. New to me. Good to spot they dont have faces, there must be strong suggestion about that. I see there are 2 "negroes" with turban, drawn in the time when fez was replacing turban in Ottoman Empire. But my grandad wore fez in the time of Ottoman Empire and even after the Balkan war and expelling Turks from Balkan. It was more folklore than religious rule. You can see lot of Jewish rabbis in turban too. Good photo. --Mile (talk) 09:28, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
