This is based on a found image from an Istanbul junkshop; I don't know who these two men are but they resemble each other, so I concluded they are brothers. I love the affection they show- a male arab characteristic which is lacking in Britain.
One brother looks poorly which reminds me of my late sister. The rooftop makes me think of Tunis where we were kids.
