Head of a Man Wearing a Plumed Turban

Atelier of Gilles Demarteau the Elder after Carle Van Loo

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an upper-body portrait of a person in profile, facing to the right. The individual is depicted in a thoughtful pose with their hand positioned under their chin. They have distinct facial features with a prominent nose and a contemplative expression. They are wearing a turban adorned with a large feather and a textured garment that appears to be a robe or cloak. The background is composed of cross-hatched shading in a soft gradient and is enclosed by a decorative border.
