Sultan Mehmed Reads the Letter
Sultan Mehmed IV reading the letter sent by the Zaporo[h]ian Cossacks (1676)
A solemnly dressed man wearing a large white turban sits by a window and reads a letter. The caption imagines Sultan Mehmed IV reading the famously insulting letter from the Zaporozhian Cossacks, while mournful saxophone music makes his reaction feel dramatically devastated. It works as an absurd historical reaction to receiving an outrageous message.
