John Young. Othman Kahn III, from Portraits of the Emperors of Turkey. 1815. England. Mezzotint, hand-colored with brush and watercolor, on ivory wove paper The twenty-fifth Ottoman sultan, Othman III (Osman) ruled from 1754 to 1757 without much incident. His distinctive style of jewel-embroidered robe appears to have been adopted from his predecessor, Mahmud I, and reappears in John Young’s treatments of the remaining sultans.
