Emir, homme de Loy de la Race de Mahomet, plate 22 from "Recueil de cent estampes représentent differentes nations du Levant" 1714 - 1715

"Emir, homme de Loy de la Race de Mahomet" is an etching by Jean Baptiste Vanmour from his series "Recueil de cent estampes représentent differentes nations du Levant." The engraving depicts a Muslim man from the Levant, likely from the Ottoman Empire, standing in a three-quarter pose, wearing traditional clothing and holding prayer beads. The engraving, created between 1714 and 1715, is a fine example of Vanmour's talent for capturing detail and creating realistic portraits, which contributed to the popularization of this genre during the 18th century. It is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
