Seated Turk, plate one from Ink Sketches by Charlet 1828

"Seated Turk" is a lithograph by Nicolas Toussaint Charlet from 1828. It is part of a larger series titled *Ink Sketches by Charlet*. The artwork depicts a Turk sitting in a relaxed posture, with his legs crossed, wearing traditional clothing. The figure is rendered in a simple, almost sketchy style, with bold black lines and areas of deep shadow. The work is considered a good example of Charlet's style, which was characterized by its focus on everyday life and its use of humor and satire.
