Head and shoulders portrait of Ali Pasha (1740-1822), the Ottoman Albanian ruler, surnamed Aslan, 'the Lion', or the 'Lion of Yannina', who fought for independence from the Ottoman Empire. His cruelty has become legendary. Byron visited Ali's court in Ioánnina in 1809 and wrote to his mother: 'His Highness is a remorseless tyrant, guilty of the most horrible cruelties, very brave, so good a general that they call him the Mahometan Buonaparte ... but as barbarous as he is successful, roasting rebels, etc, etc.'. Jean-Baptiste Mauzaisse (1784-1844) appears to have painted this portrait after Ali's death.

Extraordinary long view of Istanbul originally published in the 'Reizen' (1698) of Dutch artist Cornelis de Bruyn (1652-1726/7). De Bruyn first visited Egypt and Asia Minor in the 1670s, where he gathered the information that informed the travelogue (with over 200 plates) 'Reizen van Corn. de Bruyn door de vermaardste deelen van Klein Asia, de eylanden Scio, Rhodus, Cyprus enz. mitsg. de voornaamste steden van Aegypten, Syrien en Palestina', published in Delft in 1698. After supervising the publication and its French translation (Delft, 1700), de Bruyn set off on another long voyage, from 1701-08. This time he travelled to Russia, Persia and the East Indies, and the travels led to another large volume, 'orn.de Bruins Reizen over Moskovie door Persie en Indie, verrykt met 300 konstplaten, vertoonende . . . voor al derz. oudheden, en wel voornamentlyk heel uitvoerig die van het . . .hof van Persepolis' (Amsterdam, 1711). Thereafter he restricted his travels to visiting friends in the Netherlands.
