Cheshmagee Ahmet is a 1844 watercolor by Godfrey Thomas Vigne, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolor painting shows a man sitting on the ground, holding a long rifle. He wears a green turban, an orange jacket, and beige pants. The background is a light beige color with some dark gray shapes on the left side. The man's clothing and the rifle suggest that he might be a soldier or a hunter. The painting has a romantic feel to it, with soft colors and a sense of calm. The artist who painted this is Godfrey Thomas Vigne.
The artwork is a watercolour drawing titled *Cheshmagee Ahmet* by Godfrey Thomas Vigne, created in 1844. It was acquired by Frank Vigne, a great-nephew of the artist, from Charles Griffin of Monmouth in two transactions during 1978 and 1979 for a total of £320.
