"A Turk" is a portrait painting by Sir Thomas Lawrence (1769–1830), a leading English portrait painter and the fourth president of the Royal Academy. The painting is notable for its depiction of an anonymous Turkish figure, which reflects the European fascination with Orientalism during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Lawrence, renowned for his portrayal of regal and high society figures, applies his skillful use of light and color to convey the exotic attire and dignified presence of the subject.

The work is characterized by its rich, vibrant colors and the meticulous attention to the textures of the subject's clothing, including the intricate patterns and folds of the fabrics. The sitter's pose and expression are rendered with a sense of nobility and introspection, which is typical of Lawrence's approach to portraiture. The identity of the sitter in "A Turk" remains unknown, which adds an element of mystery to the painting and invites speculation about the context in which it was created.

"A Turk" exemplifies the Romantic period's interest in the "Other" and the allure of cultures beyond Europe's borders. It is part of a broader trend in European art where Orientalist themes were explored with a mix of fascination and fantasy, often romanticizing and exoticizing Eastern cultures. Lawrence's work contributes to this genre by capturing the imagined allure of the East, while also demonstrating his technical prowess and the ability to capture the essence of his sitters, whether they are European aristocrats or figures from distant lands.

The painting is held in various collections and has been exhibited in art galleries that showcase British art from the period. It continues to be studied for its artistic merit, as well as its cultural and historical significance within the context of Orientalism and the broader scope of European portraiture.
