EDITORS COMMENTS
This mezzotint print, titled "Achmet Kahn I" by John Young, showcases the regal presence of Sultan Selim III of the Ottoman Empire, also known as Achmet I or Ibrahim III, in the late 18th century. The portrait, part of the "Portraits of the Emperors of Turkey" series, was created in the 19th century using the intricate mezzotint technique, hand-colored with brush and watercolor on ivory wove paper. The Sultan is depicted in a circular frame, wearing an ornate robe and headdress, with a long, flowing beard and a hand gesturing in a thoughtful manner. The green color dominates the image, with the Sultan's robe and headgear adorned with intricate gold and green patterns. His apparel is a testament to the rich heritage and fashion of the Ottoman Empire during this period. The portrait provides a glimpse into the history and culture of the Ottoman Empire during the late 1700s, a time of significant political and social change. The image was likely produced in England, reflecting the growing interest in Turkish culture and history in Europe at the time. The intricacy of the print, with its hand-colored details and meticulous attention to the Sultan's facial features and clothing, make it a stunning work of art that continues to captivate viewers today. The portrait is a valuable addition to any art collection, offering a window into the past and a reminder of the rich artistic and historical legacy of the Ottoman Empire.
