The Third Oriental Head
1635
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
This painting shows a man with a turban. He looks straight at us. His face is detailed, with deep lines and a strong expression. The man's clothing and headwear suggest he's from a different culture. This was an interesting subject for Rembrandt to paint, as it was uncommon at the time. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of chiaroscuro.
