"The Scholars" by the Orientalist master Ludwig Deutsch portrays three young ‘ulama (scholars of Islam and Islamic law), contemplate illuminated manuscripts of various kinds. Deutsch embarked on a new theme of the Arab literati in the late 1890s. Pensive images of letter-writers, scribes, and the ‘ulama, abound in Deutsch’s mature paintings. Here, each scholar wears the typical imamah, or turban, of their respected station: this consisted of a taqiyah, or close-fitting cap, red cloth tarboosh (distinguished by its black tassel), and a long piece of white muslin, wound around the head.
