Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

This is a quick sketch I did of the founder of the Turkish Republic and its first president, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk while waiting for my Döner at the Black Sea Restaurant. The source photo was from a small pamphlet published in 1981 by the Office of the Ambassador for Cultural Affairs for the Republic of Turkey at the UN in recognition of the Centennial of Atatürk’s birth. The cover painting is by Arthur Kampf (1927).
