Balthasar-Charles Larpenteur (1783-1846), Portrait of an Ottoman soldier, signed and dated 1845

This portrait of an Ottoman soldier, depicted in his official attire, with a turban and a sword, against a battle ground, is very similar to another painting by Larpenteur, 'Portrait d’un général sous la Restauration', dated 1842, where the general is also depicted three quarter with a military scene in the background (Besch auction, Cannes, 9 December 2021, lot 163).
