"Turkse geestelijke van de orde der Giomailers" (Turkish spiritual of the order of Giomailers) is a 16th-century engraving by Léon Davent, depicting a Turkish spiritual leader. The figure is dressed in traditional attire with a long robe and a fur-lined cloak. He holds a book in his left hand and points to the viewer with his right. The detailed rendering of the figure's clothing and features is characteristic of Davent's work, which often focused on portraiture and religious themes. The engraving is a valuable example of 16th-century European art and provides insight into the visual culture of the period.
