EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Othman Kahn I, also known as Sultan Selim III, the 31st Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, as rendered by the skilled hand of British artist John Young in 1815. The mezzotint print, hand-coloured with brush and watercolour on ivory wove paper, showcases the Sultan's regal presence and intricate attire. Selim III, who ruled from 1789 to 1807, is seen wearing a circular, green-coloured robe adorned with intricate patterns and a matching headdress, symbolizing his royal status and power. His long, flowing beard, a common signifier of masculinity and wisdom in Ottoman culture, frames his bearded face. The Sultan's apparel, with its tactical and practical design, reflects the strategic nature of his role as a military leader. The portrait, part of the "Portraits of the Emperors of Turkey" series, is a testament to the rich heritage and history of the Ottoman Empire. The circular composition of the image adds to the sense of grandeur and importance, making it a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery. The use of hand-colouring enhances the intricacy and detail of the portrait, making it a standout piece in the 19th century art scene. This portrait of Othman Kahn I by John Young is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the life and times of a significant historical figure. The combination of the artist's skillful technique and the Sultan's regal appearance makes for a captivating and timeless work of art.
