A portrait of Şeker Ahmed |
The Sultan( Sultan Abdulaziz) liked his work and sent him to Paris immediately, to study under Gustave Boulanger and Jean-Leon Gerome.
Many of his works were oil-paintings based on nature , such as forests, fruits, animals and others.
He would later go on to host many art exhibitions and continued to serve in the army. He died in 1907, of a heart attack.
Here are some of his works:

Forest path |
Basket of fruits (my personal favourite) |
Watermelon |
Fruit table |
Sheep herding |
Books and nature |
Sheep in the dark clouds |
