"Sketches In Turkey, Syria & Egypt" is a collection of artworks by the renowned Scottish painter Sir David Wilkie, who lived from 1785 to 1841. Wilkie, celebrated for his genre paintings and portraits, embarked on a significant journey to the Middle East in the early 1840s, a period when European interest in the Orient was burgeoning. This expedition was part of a broader trend of Orientalism, where Western artists and writers sought inspiration from the cultures, landscapes, and peoples of the Eastern Mediterranean and beyond.

Wilkie's travels took him through Turkey, Syria, and Egypt, regions rich in history and diverse in their cultural tapestry. During his journey, he produced a series of sketches that captured the essence of the places he visited. These works are notable for their detailed observation and the way they convey the atmosphere and character of the locales. Wilkie's sketches include depictions of bustling bazaars, serene landscapes, and the everyday lives of the people he encountered. His keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the vibrancy of these scenes make his sketches valuable both artistically and historically.

The collection "Sketches In Turkey, Syria & Egypt" provides a window into the 19th-century European perspective on the Middle East. It reflects the fascination and romanticism that characterized the Orientalist movement, while also offering insights into the daily life and environments of the regions during that era. Wilkie's work is distinguished by its authenticity and the respect he showed for his subjects, avoiding some of the more exoticizing tendencies of his contemporaries.

Sir David Wilkie's journey and the resulting sketches had a significant impact on his later works, influencing his style and subject matter. The collection remains an important part of his artistic legacy, illustrating his versatility and his ability to adapt his techniques to new and diverse subjects. "Sketches In Turkey, Syria & Egypt" continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and its contribution to the understanding of 19th-century Orientalism.
