The Second Oriental Head

Español: La segunda cabeza oriental

Un aguafuerte muestra a un hombre mayor de perfil, mirando hacia la izquierda, con un alto gorro coronado de piel, envuelto en un turbante a rayas y una pesada bata con cuello de piel. El denso rayado en forma de plumas modela la piel y el fondo sombreado, mientras el rostro iluminado y la frente arrugada destacan sobre el papel claro.

Hachuras densas e plumosas modelam a pele e o fundo sombreado, enquanto o rosto iluminado e a testa enrugada se destacam sobre o papel claro.
