The album, which there is no signature on its paintings, was discussed by comparing with his other known paintings and was attributed to him. It was determined that, the examined album and his other albums that produced in the middle of 17th century brought some innovation to Costume Book tradition in the point of iconography and style. There are 60 paintings in this album and sultan, grand vizier, palace officers, women and men from the public, ecclesiastics, dervishes, juggler are the persons on these paintings.
