Young Moor with a Slight Beard and Feathered Turban, Turned to the Left

Stefano Della Bella

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man from the chest up. The man is positioned with his head turned slightly to the right, gazing away from the viewer. His facial features include a prominent nose, defined cheekbones, and a slightly furrowed brow, with curly hair that is partially hidden by an elaborate turban. The turban is adorned with a decorative band and a large feather emerging from the center. The man's attire consists of a richly textured jacket featuring a high collar and intricate button detailing on the chest. There are no visible signs of jewelry. The background is simple and unadorned, with minimal detail. The image has an oval vignette around the portrait.
