Calligraphic composition

1958

This kıt’a consists of four diagonal lines in talik script.

If your hopes, O heart,
Are in accord with sound judgment and appreciation
They will be fulfilled,
No need for others’ opinion and precaution

His colophon Ketebehu Şeref Akdik, 1958, is beneath the last line. The spaces in the top right and bottom left corners of the kıt’a are decorated with rumi scrolls and tiny polychrome flowers on a blue ground. The border is decorated with halkâr gilding.
