Buste van een man met tulband 1746

Aert Schouman's "Buste van een man met tulband" (1746) is a detailed etching that portrays a man in profile, his face obscured by a turban. The use of light and shadow gives the figure a sense of depth and realism, highlighting the texture of the turban and the man's beard. The etching's small size emphasizes the intimacy of the portrait, allowing viewers to closely examine the subject's expression and details of his attire. This work is a classic example of Schouman's skill in capturing the character and personality of his sitters.
