Galeriewerk Woermann Mappe 02 05

The man is depicted from the chest up, wrapped in a heavy cloak and looking to the side with an expressive, slightly open-mouthed countenance. He wears a distinctive soft, high-crowned hat that tapers toward the top. The image is a late 19th-century facsimile of an original work by Albrecht Dürer dated 1512.

The man's attire, particularly the tall 'oriental' cap, was a common iconographic marker in the Renaissance for depicting figures from antiquity, such as Eastern magi, prophets, or ancient philosophers like Hermes Trismegistus. This study reflects Dürer's interest in physiognomy and the representation of diverse human types that populated the intellectual imagination of the period.
