Tot slaaf gemaakte Noord-Afrikaanse man 1555 - 1568

This 16th-century engraving by Léon Davent depicts a North African man, likely a slave, dressed in traditional clothing. The drawing is a detailed representation of the man's attire, including his turban, long robe, and loose pants. This work showcases Davent's ability to capture the details of dress and the human form in a realistic manner. This artwork is an example of the practice of depicting the appearance of people from diverse cultures, though it was often done through a colonial lens and can be viewed as a reflection of the prevalent attitudes of the time.
