Portret van Moulay al-Rashid, sultan van Marokko 1660

This 1660 engraving by Adriaen Lommelin depicts Moulay al-Rashid, Sultan of Morocco, wearing traditional Moroccan attire including a turban and a jeweled sash. The engraving, which is part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a fine example of portraiture in the 17th century, capturing the details of al-Rashid's garments and the intensity of his gaze. The background of the engraving is a simple landscape, allowing the subject's face to be the primary focus. This work provides a valuable glimpse into the visual culture of the Moroccan court in the 17th century.
