En samling tyrkiske mænd is a 1750 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting depicts a group of men, possibly Turkish, gathered together. They are dressed in traditional clothing, with one man wearing a large turban. The men are shown in a dark, shadowy environment, with the only light source coming from the left side of the image. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the painting, with the dark shadows contrasting with the lighter areas of the men's clothing. The overall effect is one of mystery and intrigue, as if the viewer is peeking into a private gathering. The painting is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
