Description

Castiglione's drawing is an example of the appearance of turbaned figures throughout his oeuvre. The Israelites wear loosely wound clothing and turbans, although the details of their attire are not explicit in this drawing. Castiglione was not keenly interested in these details in this work, yet the inclusion of the turbaned figure in this scene is interesting to note.
