label QS:Len,"Sultan Abdülmecid I"

The Sultan has a ceremonial uniform with gold embroidery on his front, collar and sleeves, with the Medal of the Mecidi order on his chest, and is wearing a fez with aigrette. There are many half length portraits of Abdulmecid, done by French painter Jean Portet or the Ottoman painters Sebuh or Ruben Manas. The Manas brothers were appointed to the Paris embassy as translators and many portraits were commissioned to them for the Ottoman embassies in Europe. This portrait could be one of those, or a later copy of the portraits painted by Portet or Manas brothers.
