"Sultan Selim III ...", a 1796 engraving by an anonymous artist, depicts Sultan Selim III seated on a throne with a canopy above. Two figures, one kneeling and one standing, can be seen on either side of the throne. The engraving is likely a depiction of a moment in the life of Sultan Selim III, possibly an official ceremony or event. The artwork, currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is an example of printmaking and provides insight into historical depictions of Ottoman royalty during the 18th century.
