Post lot text JACQUES-ANDRÉ-JOSEPH AVED, HALF-LENGTH PORTRAIT OF MEHEMET SAÏD PACHA, BEY OF RUMELIA (?-1761), AMBASSADOR EXTRAORDINARY OF THE OTTOMAN SULTAN MAHMUD I (1696-1754), OIL ON CANVAS, UNLINED, UNFRAMEDThe young Aved (1702-1766) is brought up in Amsterdam. He is trained by the French painters François Boitard (1670-1715) and Bernard Picard (1673-1733). Upon his return to Paris, aged 20, he is received as a portraitist to the prestigious Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture. Amongst his models figure the composer Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683-1764) as well as the poet and playwright Jean-Baptiste Rousseau (1671-1731). Aved did not limit himself to making paintings, he was also an accomplished art dealer and a collector. His collection contained both the works of his contemporaries, including no less than nine paintings by Chardin (1699-1779), as well as Flemish and Italian masters. Aved is principally known as a portraitist when, in 1642, Mehemet Saïd Pacha (?-1761), ambassador to the Ottoman Sultan Mahmoud I (1696-1754), is received by Louis XV (1710-1774) in Versailles. This visit from the Sublime Porte is of capital importance as France at the time was looking to the Ottoman Empire, along with Russia and Prussia, for support in the Austrian war of succession. It is on the occasion of this visit that a full-length portrait of the ambassador Saïd Pacha, bey of Rumelia, is commissioned from Aved, painting which is today in the collection of the musée national des châteaux de Versailles et de Trianon (inv. 3716). The highly finished nature of our picture suggests that it was probably used by the artist as a study in the final stages of the execution of the Versailles portrait.
