The head of the chancery and second lieutenant of the grand visor sitting on the ground behind his writing table, surrounded by papers. From 2 August 1718 to the rebellion of Patrona Halil in September 1730 Üçanbarli Mehmed Efendi was in office as the Reis Efendi. He was considered one of the greatest scholars of his time and there are relatively many biographical data known about him. He was born in Istanbul in 1673 or 1674 and died in August or September of 1732. On the portrait Vanmour made of him he is probably about 57 years old. His nickname was Üçanbarli, which means "three warehouses" and refers to his possessions.
