The motifs show costumes of the Ottoman court during the reign of Mahmoud II.
Elbicei Atika was the name of a costume museum in Constantinople, originally located in the armoury of the Seraglio. It may be that Brindesi modeled his subjects on exhibits in this museum or metaphorically used the name.
