I am glad that I had the opportunity to paint it. It was fun and a great experience for me.
The Kavas were the guards of the Ottoman vizier and their chief was known as Kavasbashi. Every Kavasbahi had almost 100 kavas under their command. They were used also as armed guards at the foreign representations of the Ottoman Empire. They served also as local police corps. They were arresting the thieves and the ones disturbing the community order, and leading them to the courts.
