Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks to Sultan Mehmed IV of Turkey, also known as Cossacks of Saporog Are Drafting a Manifesto, 19th-century imagining of a supposed historical event of 1676, based on the legend of Cossacks sending an apparently rude and insulting reply to an ultimatum from Sultan Mehmed IV of the Ottoman Empire. On the right is Taras Bulba (in a white cap), the hero of Gogols tale of the same name; on the left is Andrei, Taras Bulbas son; almost in the centre sits Ataman (Chief) Serko with a pipe in his mouth.

In the collection of The State Russian Museum, St Petersburg, Russia. From " The Russian State Museum". [State Art Publishers, Moscow and Leningrad, 1939]
