The First Oriental Head is a 1635 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a portrait of a man with a serious expression, wearing a dark robe and a fur-trimmed collar. The man's face is rendered in intricate detail, with deep lines and wrinkles etched into his skin. His eyes are cast downward, giving the impression of introspection or contemplation. The background of the image is a soft, muted gray, which serves to heighten the contrast between the subject's dark clothing and the subtle tones of his face. The overall effect is one of somberness and gravity, as if the subject is lost in thought. This painting is an example of Rembrandt van Rijn's work in the Baroque style.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (15 July 1606 – 4 October 1669), known mononymously as Rembrandt, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, printmaker, and draughtsman.
