About this item
- Content
Genre/Subject Matter:
This full-length length standing portrait, shows Othman Pascha, Governor General of the Hejaz (1882–86).
Othman Pascha faces left, standing upon a richly patterned carpet. He wears a dark-coloured fez and ceremonial robes, featuring a mirrored paisley ( boteh ) pattern at the lower hem and each sleeve, as well as a sash. His left hand grips the pommel of a sword which is held against his body by a sword strap of plaited material.
Three circular badges are suspended from a bar on the left of his robe. Below these a more elaborate stelliform badge is also worn.
The negative has had hand-work applied, causing the image to take on a soft-shaded paint-like quality in places. In particular the original background has been substituted completely.
