Man in profile facing right, wearing a fur hat, from "Small Heads in Oriental Headdress" 1635 - 1655

This etching, titled "Man in Profile Facing Right, Wearing a Fur Hat," was created by Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione (known as Il Grechetto) between 1635 and 1655. The image depicts a man in profile, wearing a fur hat, and is one of a series of prints called "Small Heads in Oriental Headdress." This print demonstrates Castiglione's mastery of line and detail. The artist’s skill is evident in the rendering of the fur hat, beard, and the subtle folds of the man's clothing. This etching is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection in New York.
