Paul Haubenstricker

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a person in a profile view facing left. The person has an elongated face with prominent facial features. They wear an elaborate headpiece, possibly a turban or hat, with a prominent plume or fur-like texture rising. The clothing is loose-fitting, suggesting a robe or cloak. There are no visible jewelry or objects. The background is textured with cross-hatched lines. A signature and the year "1775" are in the corner of the image.
