Standing Figure with a Turban, Seen from the Side 1603

This drawing by Pieter Lastman, a prominent Dutch artist of the early 17th century, depicts a standing figure wearing a turban. The figure, seen from the side, holds a staff and stands in a landscape setting. The artist's use of pen and wash creates a sense of depth and texture, highlighting the figure's flowing robes and the details of the surrounding environment. The work exemplifies Lastman's ability to capture the essence of the human form and the natural world, leaving a lasting impression on viewers. This piece, created in 1603, showcases his early style, influenced by Italian Renaissance masters and the emerging Dutch Golden Age. It is a fine example of his skill and the artistic landscape of his time.
