"Un contraste: General La Marmora and Omar Pasha, a drive in the Crimea" is a notable artwork from an album of paintings and sketches titled 'Cadogan's Crimea', created by the British artist George Cadogan between 1854 and 1856. The piece is a historical representation capturing a moment during the Crimean War, which pitted the allied forces of the Ottoman Empire, France, Britain, and Sardinia against the Russian Empire. The artwork depicts two prominent military figures of the time: General Alfonso Ferrero La Marmora, an Italian general and statesman who commanded the Sardinian brigade in the Crimea, and Omar Pasha, an Ottoman field marshal of ethnic Serbian origin who played a significant role in the war.

The painting is significant for its portrayal of the alliance between Sardinia and the Ottoman Empire, illustrating the diverse coalition that opposed Russian expansion. Cadogan, who served as an officer in the British Army during the Crimean War, created the album 'Cadogan's Crimea' as a visual record of his experiences and the people he encountered. His works are valued for their historical accuracy and the insight they provide into military life and the cultural interactions during the conflict.
