"L'Écrivain Public à Constantinople" is a painting by Joseph Zéphirin Gengembre, a French artist known for his Orientalist works. The painting depicts a scene in Constantinople, now Istanbul, where a public scribe, an écrivain public, is engaged in his profession. These scribes historically played an important role in societies with high illiteracy rates, writing letters and documents for those who could not write themselves.

The artwork captures the rich cultural tapestry of the Ottoman Empire during a period when Western artists were fascinated by the exoticism of the East. Gengembre's painting is characterized by meticulous attention to detail, vibrant colors, and a keen interest in the daily life of the city's inhabitants. It reflects the 19th-century European artistic movement known as Orientalism, where artists and writers depicted their interpretations of Eastern cultures, often colored by their own imagination and stereotypes.

"L'Écrivain Public à Constantinople" serves as a historical document of its time, offering insight into the social dynamics and urban culture of Constantinople. The painting is significant for its portrayal of a common yet crucial profession within the context of the bustling streets of the Ottoman capital, providing a window into the past and the interactions between the literate and illiterate segments of society.

As an artwork, it contributes to the understanding of Orientalist art and the ways in which the East was romanticized and represented in Western art. The painting is an example of how European artists of the time were drawn to the perceived mystique of the Ottoman world, and it remains a testament to the enduring interest in the visual and cultural traditions of the Middle East.
