EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century print depicts Sultan Mehmet III (reigned 1595-1603) of the Ottoman Empire, enthroned and attended by two Janissaries. The image, created around the year 1600, is an opaque ink watercolor and gold on paper, showcasing the intricate details of the subjects' apparel and headgear. Mehmet III is dressed in a richly colored robe, adorned with intricate patterns and embellishments, reflecting the grandeur and wealth of the Ottoman court. His headdress, a tall and ornate turban, is topped with a golden finial, symbolizing his royal status. The sultan's expression is serious and regal, conveying the weight of responsibility that comes with ruling an empire. The two Janissaries, members of the elite infantry regiment of the Ottoman military, stand guard on either side of the throne. They are dressed in their distinctive uniforms, consisting of red fezzes, blue coats, and white trousers, with intricately designed vests and sashes. Their stern expressions and posture convey their readiness to protect their sultan and the Ottoman Empire. This print, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), provides a fascinating glimpse into the fashion, military, and artistic traditions of the Ottoman Empire during the 17th century. The intricate details of the subjects' clothing, the use of gold and opaque ink, and the depiction of the Janissaries in their regalia make this a valuable addition to the museum's collection of Islamic art and historical artifacts.
