Long Description: "The portrait follows the graphic inserted after page 230 of the second part of Priorato's "Historia di Leopoldo Cesare". The unsigned portrait, titled "Cvbleli Mvstaffa Pascia di Aleppo", is one of the most expressive depictions in the Priorato. The pasha's aged face with a long bent nose, an experienced look and wrinkled forehead is effectively framed with a white turban and a thick white beard." (dr. Polona Vidmar)
