EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Portrait of the Kistar-Agassi (chief of the eunuchs)" from the renowned collection of 100 prints representing different nations of the Levant. Created in 1707 and 1708 by orders of M. de Frriol, ambassador of the king at the Porte, and updated in 1712-13 by M. Le Hay, Bashan engraver, this particular piece was engraved by Pierre FranAzois Basan in Paris in 1714. The portrait itself is a mesmerizing depiction of an important figure within Turkish society during the 18th century. The Kistar-Agassi, as chief of the eunuchs, held significant influence and power within Ottoman culture. This image offers a rare glimpse into their world. The intricate details captured by Leonard de Selva's photography highlight not only the subject's physical appearance but also convey a sense of their authority and presence. The rich cultural heritage and history associated with Turkey are beautifully represented through this artwork. Displayed at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this print serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical documentation. It allows viewers to explore not only Turkish traditions but also gain insights into Middle Eastern customs during that era. As an out-of-copyright engraving, it continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic value while providing valuable insights into centuries-old cultures that continue to shape our understanding today.
