"Man in a Turban" (also known as "Portrait of a Man in a Red Turban" or "Self-Portrait of Jan van Eyck") is a seminal painting by the Early Netherlandish master Jan van Eyck, dated 1433. This work is often considered one of the earliest and most sophisticated examples of Northern Renaissance portraiture. The painting is renowned for its meticulous detail, the use of oil paint to achieve subtle gradations of light and shade, and the psychological depth it conveys of the sitter.

The subject of the painting, commonly believed to be a self-portrait of the artist himself, is depicted with a direct gaze that engages the viewer, a feature that was groundbreaking at the time. The man wears a red chaperon, a head-dress common in the Burgundian Netherlands, which has been fashioned into a turban, giving the painting its name. The chaperon's intricate folds and the texture of the fabric showcase van Eyck's skill in rendering materials with lifelike precision.

One of the most intriguing aspects of the painting is the inscription on the frame, which reads "ALS ICH KAN" (As I/Eyck can), a pun on the artist's name and a statement of his artistic ambition. Below this, the date of the painting is inscribed. The frame, which is believed to be original, adds to the overall significance of the work, as it suggests a self-conscious presentation of the artist's identity and his abilities.

"Man in a Turban" is held in the collection of the National Gallery in London. Its small size, 26 cm × 19 cm (10 in × 7.5 in), belies its status as a key work in the history of Western art. The painting's influence is evident in the development of portraiture, and it remains a subject of scholarly interest for its potential insights into Jan van Eyck's life, the symbolism within the work, and its broader cultural context.
