Pietro Palmieri the Elder, born in 1737, was known for his drawings. This drawing, titled "Turkish flag bearer," shows a man in a turban holding a flag in his right hand. The figure is shown from behind, looking over his shoulder and holding the flag in the air with his left hand. The drawing is a study of anatomy and figure, with the artist paying close attention to the details of the man's clothing and the fabric of the flag. The drawing, now in the Städel Museum, is a fine example of Palmieri’s work.
