Ottoman Miniature of Toothache
A mythological depiction of “toothache”, painted in the style of traditional Ottoman miniature, combined with calligraphy.
The artist Gonca Küçüksaraç adds depth to her work by painting on antique paper from the Ottoman Empire. The paper is collected from villages around Turkey, then treated for conservation. We don’t know what it says on the paper but we were told it is from a notebook of a school kid.
