"The Kibab Shop, Scutari, Asia Minor" is a famous painting by the Orientalist master John Frederick Lewis. The setting of Lewis' Kibab Shop is a street in the northwestern Turkish city of Scutari, now known as Üsküdar and a district of Istanbul. The extraordinary realism of the present work rests on Lewis' attention to detail. The eye is drawn through the shadowy room to a fretwork screen silhouetted in sunlight, framing a group in conversation and an impressive view of the city. In contrast, the smoky red of the cooking fire dimly illuminates the cook at preparing the meal.
