- Physical Description
- This sketch depicts a man in profile, facing toward his right. He wears a turban and an elaborate collar.
- Subject Matter
- The drawing, perhaps an informal portrait, depicts a man whose features suggest his European origins. He wears, however, a turban and collar that indicate travels abroad, perhaps to India. The style of the drawing has been associated with the work of George Chinnery, a London-born painter who lived in India from 1802 until 1825 before relocating to China.
