SMYTH. Omer Pacha-from a photograph by Mr. Robertson, of Constantinople,1854. Creators: Unknown, Smyth.

SMYTH. Omer Pacha - from a photograph by Mr. Robertson, of Constantinople, 1854. 'The portrait realises the most striking characteristics of the physiognomy of Omer Pacha...He wears a fez cap, which shows to advantage the clear, well-marked lines of his calm and resolute face, embrowned by exposure to wind and weather for many a year of a soldier's life...contrasted with his snow-white whiskers and beard. In the rude mouth, with compressed thick lips, is traceable enormous firmness and resolution. The chin, full and square, evinces the same qualities, which may also be discerned in the general form of the head. All the rougher features, he coarse nose, and the slight prominence of the cheek bones, are more than redeemed by the quick, penetrating, and expressive eye, full of quiet courage and genius, and by the calm though rather stubborn brow...rising above the thick shaggy eyebrow'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
