Rembrandt van Rijn

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Third Oriental Head by Rembrandt van Rijn. Black and white image of a man with long hair and a beard wearing a headscarf. The man is shown from the chest up, facing to the right. He has a long beard and long hair. The hair on top of his head is wrapped in a headscarf with a feather sticking up. The background is a light color with some darker shading around the edges. There are some scribbled lines in the background, possibly indicating a landscape. The image is signed in the top left corner. The overall color scheme is shades of gray, black, and white. The image appears to be a drawing or etching. The man's attire and headscarf give him an exotic or oriental appearance. The image has a somewhat aged appearance.
