This print from 1800-1833 by Philippus Jacobus Brepols depicts the military uniforms of the Ottoman Empire and their allies. The print shows three rows of men: Turkish Imperial Guard, Greek Infantry, and Chinese Sharpshooters, each in their respective uniforms. The detailed, colorful depiction provides a snapshot of early 19th-century military fashion and offers insights into the diverse soldiers employed by the Ottoman Empire. The print, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the popularity of military-themed illustrations during the era.
