The sheet presents four individual scenes arranged in quadrants, each depicting a figure engaged in ritual, performance, or symbolic gesture drawn from 18th-century Turkish life. In the upper left, we see a dramatic image titled 'Amant Turc qui se déchire le bras devant sa Maîtresse pour preuve de son Amour' (“Turkish lover who tears his arm in front of his mistress as proof of his love”).
