This etching by Jean Charles Bentinck, dating back to 1781, features two bust-length portraits of men with turbans and beards. The men are depicted in profile, with the one on the left facing right and the one on the right facing forward. The artist's signature and the date can be found in the lower right corner of the etching. This artwork exemplifies the popularity of Orientalist themes in European art during the 18th century.
