"Turbanbærende, ubevæbnet rytter set skråt bagfra; t.h. i baggrunden en pyramide" is a 1581 woodcut by Danish artist Melchior Lorck. The artwork depicts an unnamed rider in profile with a distinct turban, sitting on a horse. The rider is seen from behind, and the image is a part of a larger series of woodcut illustrations, likely created by Lorck during his travels in Egypt and the Levant in the 16th century. This specific image provides a glimpse into Lorck's documentation of foreign cultures and landscapes, showcasing his fascination with the exotic.
