This print titled "Kasseki, officier des Bostangis, 1714-15" takes us back to the 18th century in France. Created by an unknown artist, this engraved etching showcases a distinguished man standing tall with pride. The subject of the portrait is Kasseki, an officer of the Bostangi guard during that era. His attire reflects the fashion trends of the time, with intricate details on his traditional Levantine dress. The engraving beautifully captures every delicate line and texture, adding depth to this historical piece. As we gaze into Kasseki's eyes, we are transported to a different time and place - a world where Ottoman influence meets French heritage. This photograph is not just a mere depiction; it serves as a window into history. Preserved within the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this artwork by Jean Baptiste Van Mour holds immense cultural significance. It allows us to appreciate both the artistic skill involved in its creation and gain insight into the lives of people from centuries ago.
