Engraved by the leading British printmaker S.W. Reynolds, who also worked in Paris.

Stipple. 290 x 220mm (11½ x 8½"). Trimmed to plate top and right.
Portrait of Mohammed ben Hadou, ambassador to Charles II from the court of Moulay Ismail Ben Sharif, in England 1681-2, negotiating a treaty at a time that English-occupied Tangier (a dowry gift from Portugal to Charles II) was under siege by the Moroccans. John Evelyn wrote that he had an English mother and to be 'a handsome person, well featured and of a wise look, subtile and extremely civile'. He was also said to have married an English servant during his stay. The treaty that he negotiated was never ratified. In 1684 the English forces left Tangier, having destroyed the fortifications. This seated portrait was painted by Susannah-Penelope Rosse (1652-1700), daughter of Richard Gibson and close friend of Samuel Cooper. Another painting shows ben Hadou riding in Hyde Park in full Ottoman attire.
