The three busts depict historical figures from the siege of Vienna by the Turks. Namely Sultan Mehmed IV (1642 - 1693), Kara Mustafa Pasha (1634/35 -1683), Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire and commander-in-chief during the Second Siege of Vienna, and Count Emmerich Thököly of Késmárk (1657 - 1705), Hungarian magnate and statesman and close ally of Kara Mustafa against the Habsburgs.
