Portrait, head and shoulders, facing left, possibly of an Ottoman Pasha is a 1800 watercolor by Unknown, a ottoman_miniature work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This portrait depicts a man with a long white beard, wearing a white turban and a white shirt. He is facing left, and his attire suggests he may be an Ottoman Pasha. The background of the painting is a muted grey tone. The man's facial expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be gazing into the distance. The artist has used watercolour to create a sense of depth and texture in the painting. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation. The Victoria and Albert Museum is home to many other artworks from the Romanticism movement.
