"A Turkish Horseman" is a woodcut by the German artist Hans Springinklee, who worked in the early 16th century. The detailed image depicts a Turkish rider in full regalia, mounted on a rearing horse, with a flag bearing a crescent moon and star. Springinklee's artistic style, characterized by fine lines and intricate details, reveals his talent for capturing the movement and energy of his subjects. This woodcut, likely intended for a book or broadsheet, provides a glimpse into European perceptions of the Ottoman Empire during the 16th century.
