Portret van Osman I 1692 - 1745

"Portret van Osman I" is an engraving by Claude DuBosc, created between 1692 and 1745. The artwork depicts Osman I, founder of the Ottoman Empire, in a seated pose. He is shown wearing traditional Ottoman clothing, including a turban and a long robe. The engraving is framed within a decorative border. The image is a portrait of a historical figure and demonstrates the artist's skill in engraving. DuBosc's engraving of Osman I was likely intended as a historical record and a commemorative work. The inscription under the image indicates that it is based on a "original picture in the Temple", which suggests that it was intended to represent a factual portrayal of the ruler.
