"The Second Oriental Head" (b., Holl.287; H.132; Bb.35-4) is an etching by the renowned Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn, created in the mid-17th century. This work is part of a series of etchings that depict figures in exotic attire, often referred to as "Oriental" in the context of 17th-century European art. These works reflect the fascination and curiosity that European artists and audiences had for the cultures and costumes of the Near East, which were considered exotic and mysterious at the time.

Rembrandt, known for his masterful use of light and shadow, as well as his keen ability to capture human emotion and character, brings these qualities to "The Second Oriental Head." The etching showcases a figure adorned in elaborate, non-European clothing, which includes a turban and richly textured fabrics. The detailed rendering of the attire and the contemplative expression on the subject's face highlight Rembrandt's skill in etching and his interest in the human condition.

The etching is notable for its intricate line work and the subtle gradations of tone that Rembrandt achieves through his technique. This piece, like many of Rembrandt's etchings, demonstrates his innovative approach to printmaking, where he often experimented with different methods to achieve desired effects. The use of chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark, is particularly effective in this work, adding depth and dimensionality to the figure.

"The Second Oriental Head" is part of a broader body of work where Rembrandt explored themes of identity, culture, and the human experience. These etchings not only served as studies in character and costume but also reflected the broader cultural exchanges and interests of the Dutch Golden Age. Today, this etching is appreciated not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical significance, offering insights into the period's artistic practices and cultural perceptions.
