About this work

This etching shows a young man with a turban and a feather. He is turned to the left. His clothing is fancy, with lots of folds and textures. The turban is the most interesting part of the picture. It's wrapped around the man's head and has a big feather sticking out. The man's face is serious, and his hair is neatly tucked away under the turban. If you want to learn more about this style of art, you should check out the Baroque movement.
