A bare-headed figure with a large mustache faces the viewer in this half-length depiction paired with D07425, for which the artist received payment on April 25, 1774. Both drawings are mentioned in the inventories of the Royal Collection and are attributed to Lorenzo Tiepolo, whose pastels reflect Venetian traditions and whose compositions in this genre are linked to the well-known fantasy heads of Oriental figures by his father, Giambattista, and his brother (Text drawn from Mena Marqués, M.: Catálogo de dibujos. VII. Dibujos italianos del siglo XVIII y del siglo XIX, Museo del Prado, 1990, pp. 146-147).
