Portret van Ali Pasja 1822 - 1863

This print of *Portret van Ali Pasja* by Lazarus Gottlieb Sichling depicts a bust-length portrait of the subject, who is wearing a fur-trimmed coat and a cap. Ali Pasha was an Albanian Ottoman military leader who ruled the Pashalik of Yanina from 1788 until 1822. The artwork is a fine example of the portraiture genre in the 19th century, capturing a likeness of the subject with a focus on detail. The artist used a highly realistic style to capture the Pasha's features and the texture of his garments.
