About Man With A Long Beard, Wearing A Headdress And Fur
This etching is signed in the plate in the upper right with the artist's monogram followed by the inscription 'Castilione.' It is from the first and only state and belongs to the series known as the "Large Studies of Heads in Oriental Headdress." Exemplifying Castiglione's skill at depicting a variety of rich, textural qualities, this work conveys an elderly man in profile donning a feather and fur headdress. Capturing the essence of his subject, Castiglione depicts this man as both solemn and wise as he gazes straightforward unflinchingly.
