Cigar Store Turk

Walter Hochstrasser

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a person standing upright. They are turned slightly to the side with their left hand resting on their chest and their right hand holding an object. The person has a long, full beard and a serene expression. They are wearing a large turban on their head, a richly colored blue and gold garment, red, patterned pants, and pointed shoes that match the pants. The style suggests that it is a painting or illustration. The background is a neutral off-white or light beige color.
