About this work
Lastman drew this sympathetic young man wearing a turban and a graceful tunic in two different poses at the beginning of his career. The influence of the Mannerist style of his teacher Gerrit Pietersz can still be discerned: notice the elongated, elegant fingers and pointed toes. The inscription ‘P. Lastman’ on both sheets was added by their later owner Gerard ter Borch the Elder, with whom Lastman became acquainted in Rome.
