The artwork, titled “Man in Turban,” created by Thomas Eakins, belongs to the Realism art movement and falls under the genre of “sketch and study.” In this piece, the artist has utilized a monochromatic palette to depict a man in a turban, viewed from a profile perspective. The sketch captures the texture and folds of the turban with precise lines and shading, while the man’s facial features and expression are rendered with gentle, yet deliberate strokes. The simplicity and tranquility of the drawing emphasize the figure’s contemplative demeanor, and the use of light and shadow demonstrates Eakins’ skill in capturing realistic human forms, consistent with the tenets of Realism.
