Man uit Egypte 1562

François Desprez's "Man uit Egypte" (1562) is an engraving depicting a standing figure in traditional Egyptian attire. The detailed lines capture the intricate folds of his robe and the feathered headdress. The engraved text below the image, in French, describes the figure as a "true Egyptian" who, while aging, retains his ancient customs. The artwork exemplifies the European interest in depicting other cultures and civilizations during the Renaissance era.
