About this work

This engraving depicts a man with a serious expression, wearing a turban and a loose-fitting shirt. He is shown from the chest up, with his hands resting on a table in front of him. The man's face is rendered in fine detail, with deep lines etched into his forehead and around his mouth. The engraving is done in a style reminiscent of the Baroque period, with intricate cross-hatching used to create depth and texture. The overall effect is one of somberness and contemplation.
