"Ein sich nach rechts bückender Mann mit Turban" is a graphite drawing by the French Baroque artist Simon Vouet, dated circa 1640. This drawing, now housed in the Städel Museum, depicts a man with a turban bending down, likely a study for a larger painting or sculpture. Vouet's distinctive style, characterized by its elegance and refinement, is evident in the meticulous rendering of the figure and the subtle shading. This study exemplifies his interest in capturing human anatomy and movement in a dynamic and expressive manner, serving as a testament to the artist's mastery of drawing.
