"Griekse handelaar" (Greek Merchant) is a 16th-century engraving by Léon Davent, depicting a Greek merchant in traditional garb. The merchant is shown standing with his left hand outstretched, wearing a turban and a long robe. The engraving was created during Davent's short but prolific career, which ended prematurely with his death in 1556. The work is notable for its detailed rendering of clothing and the subject's facial features, offering a glimpse into the fashion and attire of the time.
