About the piece
Painted around 1728 by Jean Baptiste Vanmour, this portrait depicts Mehmet, the vizier's steward (kâhyasi). Vanmour, a renowned French artist who spent decades documenting Ottoman life, captures the dignity of his subject through the heavy, fur-trimmed folds of the green robe and the intricate turban, set against a characteristically moody and shadowed backdrop that highlights the figure's presence.
