EDITORS COMMENTS
Orkan Kahn, also known as Sultan Selim III, is depicted in this stunning mezzotint print from John Young's "Portraits of the Emperors of Turkey" series, created in the 19th century. The image captures the Ottoman Sultan in the prime of his reign, dressed in the traditional attire of the Ottoman court. Selim III, who ruled from 1789 to 1807, is shown wearing a circular robe, or "kaftan," adorned with intricate floral designs and gold accents. He wears a headdress, or "turban," which is wrapped around his head and secured with a gold band. Selim's beard, which is neatly trimmed and curled, frames his face, adding to his regal appearance. The print, which is hand coloured with brush and watercolour on ivory wove, showcases the meticulous attention to detail that characterizes Young's work. The artist expertly captures the rich textures and colours of Selim's apparel, as well as the subtle folds and shapes of his robe and headdress. The image is framed in a simple yet elegant manner, allowing the Sultan's portrait to take center stage. Selim III is depicted in a round, full-length pose, which emphasizes his stature and authority. The background is kept simple, with a plain, dark colour providing a stark contrast to the vibrant colours of the Sultan's clothing. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Turkey and the Ottoman Empire, and offers a glimpse into the fashion and royalty of the time. It is a valuable addition to any art collection, and a reminder of the artistic and historical significance of John Young's work.
