Summary

Description Un Grec de Janina (1827) by Lous Dupré (reproduction by Porto Leone Publications, Athens, 1993) originally published in 1825 with the title Albanais au service d'Ali Pacha.[1] The subject was encountered by Dupré in 1820 and described by him as a young Albanian lord who impressed him by his politeness, dexterity, noble brow and proud look, as well as his costume and weapons.
Original French quote: "Le 27 mars, avant de partir, je fis le croquis d’une mosquée et le portrait d’un jeune seigneur albanais (PI. X), qui, par forme de remercîment, tua et écorcha un mouton en notre présence. Je fus moins touché que surpris de sa politesse; mais je ne laissai pas de le regarder avec un intérêt qu’il attribuait sans doute à sa dextérité, et qui avait une tout autre cause. Son action venait de me rappeler les héros d’Homère, et de me transporter, sans qu’il s’en doutât, dans le camp d’Achille. Les traits et la tournure de cet Albanais prêtaient assez à l’illusion; il avait le front noble et le regard fier; il était couvert de dorures; ses armes étaient aussi éclatantes que celles qui furent forgées par Vulcain."[2]
