Borstbeeld van een man in Oosterse kledij 17th century

This 17th-century etching, "Borstbeeld van een man in Oosterse kledij", by Pieter Cornelisz. Verbeeck (1610–1654), depicts a bust-length portrait of a man in a richly patterned turban with a feather. He wears a high-collared garment with fur trim and appears to hold a staff in his right hand. The subject, perhaps a foreign dignitary, is rendered with meticulous detail, a hallmark of Verbeeck's work. The oval format, common in portraiture of this period, adds to the intimate and refined quality of the piece.
