Description from the seller
Portrait of a knight with a turban
Flemish School or Central European. Possibly 16th century.
Oil on canvas mounted on panel.
The work depicts a three-quarter bust of a man, with his gaze directed to the right. The figure has abundant dark beard, wavy hair, and a face with a serious and contemplative expression.
He wears rich period attire, consisting of a green tunic, a gold breastplate with vegetal decoration, and a light fabric band crossing diagonally over the chest.
Specially notable is the voluminous brown headdress, with white fabrics wrapped around it and red and black ornaments, which gives the character an Orientalizing look.
The background is rendered with a blue drapery, whose folds contrast with the warm tones of the face and garments.
