Young Moor in a Feathered Turban, Turned to the Left is a 1650 ink by Stefano Della Bella, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
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.
