About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a bearded man in fancy clothes. He wears a tall, decorated hat with feathers and a heavy necklace with a cross shape. The background is plain, but the edges of the picture have swirly designs and French writing. The name "Achmet III" is written above him, and the text below hints at his role as a Turkish ruler. The print looks old, with careful lines showing his face and robes in detail. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more prints like it.
