Omar Pasha, Commander In Chief Of The Turkish Army is a 1840 ink by Daniel J. Pound, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This black-and-white drawing shows a serious-looking man in a dark military coat with lots of buttons. His right hand points toward a small battle scene in the background, where soldiers fight on horseback. The edges of the picture have fancy swirls and symbols, like swords and stars. The name below reads *"Omar Pasha, Commander-In-Chief of the Turkish Army,"* suggesting this is a powerful military leader. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and texture, making the uniform look detailed. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists use acid and needles to make prints like this.
An etching and stipple print by Daniel J. Pound from 1840 portrays Omar Pasha, Commander in Chief of the Turkish Army, accompanied by title and artist credit lettered below the image.
