Ali Tebelen, Pacha de Janina, 1819. Ali Pasha (1741-1822) reclining in a boat smoking a pipe, and wearing a coat trimmed with fur. In 1787 he became the Turkish pasha (military governor) of Yannina, which is now Ioánnina in Greece, but was a province of the Ottoman Empire. He was called the lion of Yannina because of his harsh rule. From "Voyage à Athènes et à constantinople; ou collection de portraits, vues et costumes Grecs et Ottomans".
