About the piece
Painted around 1728 by Jean Baptiste Vanmour, this oil on canvas portrait depicts Sultan Ahmed III in a regal stance. The Sultan is adorned in a characteristic voluminous white turban and luxurious fur-lined golden robes, holding a mace as a symbol of authority, while two guards in distinctive red uniforms stand in the shadowed background.
