This work is part of a series of studies that Rembrandt executed, focusing on the depiction of individuals with distinct ethnic features, often referred to as "Oriental" in the terminology of his time. The term "Oriental" was broadly used in the 17th century to describe people from the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of Asia, reflecting the European fascination with and exoticization of these regions.

"The First Oriental Head" exemplifies these qualities, showcasing Rembrandt's ability to capture the essence of his subjects with remarkable sensitivity and realism. The etching portrays a man with a turban, a common motif in Rembrandt's work, which he used to explore the textures and patterns of different fabrics and to convey a sense of the exotic.

The etching is notable for its fine lines and the subtle gradations of tone that Rembrandt achieved through his expert handling of the etching needle and the printing process. The subject's contemplative expression and the detailed rendering of his facial features and headgear highlight Rembrandt's keen observational skills and his interest in the human condition.
