Focusing on the form and content relations in the leaves of the muraqqa, the production principles of the vassal who compiled the album is determined. The stylistic characteristics of the images in the album are delineated through a comparison with similar ones published in the scholarly literature and museum catalogues. Calligraphic samples are also analyzed and both the contents of the poems and their poets are determined, as well as evaluating the relation between the poems and their images. The album, which exemplifies the 18th century Ottoman muraqqa production, comprises 34 images and 27 calligraphic samples. Except for one, all of the paintings and slightly colored qalam-i siyahi images reflect the 16th century Safavid painting style; most of the images depict youths and dervishes. Calligraphic samples include Persian, Turkish, and Arabic poems in ta’liq script; they are usually from the classics of Persian literature, and often carry advisory traits. An analysis of the album as a whole indicates that during the compilation of the album, the vassal paid attention to not only thematic but also structural harmony between pieces that fall on opposite pages.

Ayrica bilimsel literaturde ve muze kataloglarinda yer alan benzer imgelerle karsilastirarak albumde bulunan imgelerin uslup ozelliklerini ortaya koyar. Guzel yazi orneklerini cozumleyerek siirlerin icerigini ve kimlere ait oldugunu belirler, imgelerle olan iliskilerini saptar. 18.
