A three-quarter length polychrome of a bearded representation of Omar Pasha Latas (1806–71) from a wooden sailing brig.
A three-quarter length polychrome of a bearded representation of Omar Pasha Latas (1806–71) from a wooden sailing brig. The figurehead shows him in his prime, in a blue military uniform with gold epaulettes and decorated with a large number of medals, including a version of the Order of Medjidie suspended below his neck stock. He has a red fez on his head.
Omar Pasha was born into a Christian family in Croatia when it was part of the Austrian Empire. He later converted to Islam and changed his name to Omar Pasha after escaping when his father was convicted of misappropriation. He was a very successful and well-regarded general in the Ottoman army, having fought against the Russians during the Crimean War (1853–56) alongside the French and British armies.
