In 1828-1831, French painter Théodore Leblanc (1800-1837) traveled to Greece and the Levant where he produced a few dozen drawings from nature. He has a very peculiar style of drawing but it conveys certain intensity. Almost all of his drawings portray scenes from the Greek War of Independence but interestingly there is one drawing of a Georgian prince that he seems to have stumbled across during his travels. Unfortunately, it is unclear who the prince was...
For more of Leblanc's drawings see his Croquis d' après nature faits pendat trois ans de sejour en Grèce et dans le Levant (Paris, Gihaut, 1833).
