"Islamitische galeislaven en zeelieden bij barbier" (Islamic galley slaves and sailors at the barber) is a 1649 etching by M. Schaep, depicting a scene of daily life in a Turkish setting. The etching portrays several men in traditional dress, with one of them receiving a shave from a barber. The scene is likely set in a marketplace or near a harbor, as suggested by the presence of a barrel and a tent-like structure. The artwork provides a glimpse into 17th-century European perceptions of Ottoman culture and its inhabitants.
