Othman I (Ottoman Turkish: عثمان غازى‎, romanized: ʿOsmān Ghāzī; 1259 – 1326), also known as Osman Gazi, was the founder of the Ottoman Empire and its first Sultan, reigning from 1299 until his death in 1326. He was born into the Kayı tribe, part of the larger Oghuz Turkish tribal group, in the town of Söğüt, which would later become the first capital of the Ottoman state. Othman I's leadership was pivotal in the establishment and expansion of the empire that would bear his name (derived from the Anglicized form of "Osman"), which would endure for over six centuries and become one of the largest and longest-lasting empires in history.

Under Othman I's rule, the Ottoman Turks began to expand their territory, seizing lands from the Byzantine Empire and other rival states in the region. His military campaigns were characterized by a combination of strategic marriages, alliances, and conquests, which helped to solidify the nascent empire's power and influence in Anatolia and the Balkans. Othman I's legacy is marked by the establishment of a dynasty that would rule the empire until its dissolution following World War I.

The portrait of Othman I by John Young, featured in "A Series of Portraits of the Emperors of Turkey" from 1808, is a significant historical artwork that contributes to the visual representation of the Ottoman Empire's founder. John Young was an eminent British engraver and keeper of the British Institution. His series of portraits provided a visual record of the Ottoman sultans and played a role in shaping Western perceptions of the Ottoman rulers. The portrait of Othman I is an important artifact for both art historians and scholars of Ottoman history, offering insight into the iconography and historical memory of the empire's formative figure.
