"Bust of a Turk" is a pen drawing by the Italian Baroque artist Salvator Rosa, currently housed in the Städel Museum. Rosa's work often depicted themes of exoticism and adventure, which are reflected in this portrayal of a Turk. The drawing's expressive lines and quick strokes highlight the subject's imposing figure, emphasizing the artist's interest in capturing the character and personality of his subjects. This drawing is a prime example of Rosa's mastery of drawing as a tool for portraying personality and capturing fleeting moments.
