Literature:
Cf. Constantinople and the Scenery of the Seven Churches of Asia Minor, by Robert Walsh and Thomas Allom, pub. London/Paris, Fisher, Son & Co., 1836-38

The sketchy and spontaneous nature of the present work suggests that it is likely a preparatory study by Allom for his 1836 print of the same subject. 'Brusa' is the historical name of modern day Bursa, Turkey.
