Question

Are these clothes Greek or Arabian?

Answer 1

The clothes shown in the image are Arabian.

• Turbans: The figures are wearing traditional Middle Eastern head coverings and turbans.
• Loose Robes: They are wearing long, loose, flowing cloaks (abayas) and tunics that are typical of Arabian culture.
• The Reason: This painting was made centuries later by an Islamic artist who drew the Greek thinkers looking like people from his own Arabian society.
