Four Turkish men with turbans and an African man in profile, Four Turkish men with turbans and a dark man in profile (former title), print, printmaker: Stefano della Bella, 1620 - 1664, paper, etching, intaglio printmaking technique, etching with plate tone, height 83 mm x width 130 mm, head-gear: turban, Africans, Asiatic races and peoples: Turks, persons of African origin, A horizontal ink drawing shows several profile figures facing right with detailed hair and headwear; in the foreground two large male profiles wear tall rounded turbans and loose draped clothing, one with a mustache and the other clean-shaven, and behind them a smaller bearded man also in a rounded turban. To the far right a younger-looking profile with tied-back hair and a plain garment faces the group, while a darker-skinned profile with short hair appears at the left edge. The composition is rendered with fine hatch and contour lines on a lightly textured background, and areas of cross-hatching suggest shadowing around the faces and behind the rightmost figure.
