Osman Pasha is a 1878 watercolor by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a man in a long coat and hat riding a horse, holding a rifle. Behind him, two soldiers march with rifles too. The ground looks rough, and there’s a fence made of sharp sticks on the right. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and texture. The drawing focuses on the man’s strong presence, with the horse and soldiers adding a sense of action. The style feels loose and natural, not overly polished.
