This print shows a man in a fancy robe and tall hat, sitting inside a large oval frame. Two figures stand on either side—one holding a scroll, the other a small object. The man’s face is serious, with a thick beard and a chain around his neck. The background has clouds and a wreath at the bottom of the frame. The text below names him "Mustapha III" and gives his birth and death years. The print looks like it was made to honor him, with careful details in the clothing and the frame. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more prints like this.
