Visual Summary

Brief Description

A person with dark skin, a tall colorful turban, pink jacket, and a rifle

Detailed Description

A chest-up portrait depicts a person with dark skin, facing right in profile, against a plain, dark olive-green background. The person wears a very tall, elaborate turban that dominates the upper half of the composition. The turban features a prominent red dome-like top, layered with bands of yellow, green, and patterned fabrics in shades of orange, red, and blue. Small, colorful tassels in white, yellow, and red hang from the turban around the ears. The person's face shows a neutral expression, with a straight nose and full lips. They wear a shiny, light pink or salmon-colored jacket made of a satin-like material. The jacket has long sleeves and is adorned with intricate dark embroidery along the cuffs and seams. A dark rifle or musket is slung over the left shoulder, its barrel pointing upwards. On the right side, a light-colored powder horn and other small, decorative items are visible, tucked into a sash or belt.
