'Azamoglan' of 'Jamoglan' is a 16th-century etching by Léon Davent, a French artist known for his depictions of Turkish figures. The drawing depicts a man wearing traditional Turkish clothing, including a distinctive conical hat, likely a "Jamoglan" - a type of official in the Ottoman Empire. This detailed portrayal of a specific individual is a testament to Davent's interest in capturing the nuances of Ottoman culture. The artwork's small size, measuring 256 mm high and 173 mm wide, emphasizes the intimacy of observation in this period.
