This etching, from the series 'Collection of Heads' (Raccolta di teste) by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, depicts a bearded man in a turban, seen from behind in a three-quarters view. The work showcases Tiepolo's masterful use of line and shading, creating a sense of depth and realism in the subject's features, particularly in the folds of his turban and the texture of his beard. This etching, dating back to 1770, reflects the artist's interest in capturing the character and individuality of his subjects, which was a hallmark of his work.
