A black and white print portrays a standing figure in Turkish costume.

This black and white print shows a figure in Turkish costume standing on a hill, facing forward, and looking straight ahead. To his right below the hill is some vegetation. He stands with his weight on his left foot, his right foot placed slightly forward. His left hand is on his hip, underneath his wrap, and his right hand rests on his walking stick, which leans against his right foot. He wears soft leather shoes, breeches, an embroidered tunic, an embroidered wrap draped around his back and over his shoulders, a medal pendant, and a fur-brimmed hat with a feather plume. He has a long, wispy beard. Below his feet are the artist’s signature and date.
