The Fourth Oriental Head

Rembrandt van Rijn and Studio of Rembrandt van Rijn after Jan Lievens

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the upper body and head of a person positioned slightly sideways but facing forward. The individual has distinctive facial features including a prominent nose, and lips that are slightly downturned, set amid a fuller face with a beard and moustache. Long, curly hair descends past the shoulders. The person is adorned in historical clothing, including a large, soft hat atop the head, and a loose, layered garment with a textured pattern underneath a jacket or cloak. There are no visible jewelry items or objects being held by the person. The background is plain with a light texture and no distinct elements.
