Description
This young man turns his face to the left, opening his mouth to shout. His eyes are closed, making him difficult to recognize as an identifiable person. Shaggy curly hairs peak out from underneath his headdress, nearly fading into the cross-hatched shadows under his chin. The loosely wound turban and knotted necktie are the only indications of his clothing, yet they are striking in their simplicity.
