Portret van een onbekende man met tulband 1653

This etching by the Monogrammist C, dated 1653, depicts the head and shoulders of an unknown man wearing a turban. The composition is contained within a diamond-shaped frame. The artist, likely a Dutch printmaker, has rendered the subject in a realistic style with detailed facial features, including a long beard, and a textured turban. The small size of the etching, measuring only 114 mm by 112 mm, suggests it may have been part of a larger series of portraits. The identity of the subject remains a mystery, but the print provides a glimpse into the artistic trends of the 17th century.
