Oil painting of an elderly bearded man in a white turban and dark cloak with a gold chain, against a dark background with a column at right.

Man in Oriental Costume (Rembrandt, 1639)

A bearded elderly man in a white turban and dark fur-trimmed cloak stares forward against a deep brown background, his hands clasped at his waist. A gold-embroidered collar with a jeweled chain sits at his chest, and a lit column rises at the right. The oil painting uses strong chiaroscuro and warm earth tones.
