Ahmed II (1642-1695) was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1691 until his death in 1695. He ascended to the throne during a tumultuous period marked by military conflicts and internal strife. Ahmed II was born in 1642, the son of Sultan Ibrahim I and his consort Muazzez Sultan. His reign was characterized by ongoing wars with the Holy League, a coalition of European powers including the Habsburg Monarchy, Poland-Lithuania, Venice, and Russia, which sought to curb Ottoman expansion in Europe.

Ahmed II's rule saw significant military engagements, most notably the Battle of Slankamen in 1691, where the Ottoman forces suffered a devastating defeat at the hands of the Habsburg army. This loss further weakened the Ottoman hold in Central Europe and contributed to the gradual decline of Ottoman influence in the region. Despite these challenges, Ahmed II attempted to stabilize the empire through various administrative reforms and efforts to strengthen the central authority.

His reign also witnessed efforts to address internal corruption and inefficiency within the Ottoman administration. Ahmed II endeavored to improve the financial situation of the empire by implementing fiscal reforms and curbing the excesses of provincial governors. However, his efforts were often hampered by the ongoing military conflicts and the entrenched interests of powerful factions within the empire.

Ahmed II's reign was relatively short, lasting only four years, and he passed away in 1695. His death marked the end of a brief and challenging period in Ottoman history, and he was succeeded by his nephew, Mustafa II. Despite the difficulties faced during his rule, Ahmed II is remembered for his attempts to navigate the empire through a period of significant external and internal pressures.

The portrait of Ahmed II, created by John Young in 1808, is part of a series titled "A Series of Portraits of the Emperors of Turkey." This series aimed to depict the various sultans of the Ottoman Empire, capturing their likenesses and contributing to the historical record of the empire's rulers. Young's work is noted for its detailed and expressive portrayal of the sultans, providing valuable visual documentation of these historical figures.
