The distinguished Count stands tall and confident, dressed impeccably in his diplomatic attire. His presence exudes power and authority as he engages in conversation with Sultan Osman III. The Sultan, adorned in traditional Turkish garments including a fez hat, emanates regality and wisdom. As the ruler of the Ottoman Empire from 1754 to 1757, his role was crucial during this period of history. Favray's attention to detail is evident through his masterful brushstrokes that bring life to both characters. The vibrant colors and intricate textures add depth and dimension to the painting.
