Man in a Long Coat and Turban with a Sword 1700 - 1800

This anonymous drawing, dating back to the 1700s, depicts a man in elaborate attire. The figure, possibly a nobleman, stands in a relaxed pose, his hand resting on his hip, his sword prominently displayed. The artist's use of pen and ink creates a sense of dynamism, capturing the subject's clothing and expression with detail. The drawing, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the fashion and social customs of the era.
