"The third Oriental head" is an etching by Rembrandt van Rijn, dated 1635. The artwork features a detailed profile of a man in a turban, with a feathered ornament, looking to the right. The background of the etching, composed with soft lines, is much lighter than the foreground, where the figure is depicted in a highly detailed and expressive manner. This etching is a great example of Rembrandt's mastery of the etching technique and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. The artwork is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum.
