"A Turk's Head: Mr Henry Mossop in The Guise Of Bajazet From Nicholas Rowe's Play Tamerlane" is a notable work by the prominent 18th-century English artist William Hogarth, renowned for his satirical and socially critical art. This particular piece is a portrait of the Irish actor Henry Mossop (1729–1773), who was celebrated for his performances on the London stage. In this work, Hogarth captures Mossop in character as Bajazet, a role he played in Nicholas Rowe's famous tragedy "Tamerlane," which was first performed in 1701.

The painting is a testament to Hogarth's skill in portraiture and his connection to the theatrical world of his time. It not only showcases his ability to depict the human figure with psychological depth but also reflects the cultural milieu of the 18th-century London stage. Hogarth's portrayal of Mossop as Bajazet is particularly significant as it immortalizes a moment of dramatic intensity, capturing the actor's expression and posture in a way that conveys the emotional turmoil of the character he is playing.

The play "Tamerlane" itself is a historical drama that centers around the 14th-century conqueror Timur (Tamerlane) and his capture of the Ottoman Sultan Bajazet. It was a popular piece of the early 18th-century repertoire and was known for its political allegory, comparing Tamerlane to King William III and Bajazet to King Louis XIV of France. Mossop's portrayal of Bajazet would have been a significant role for an actor of his time, and Hogarth's painting serves as a historical record of Mossop's performance as well as an example of the interplay between visual art and theater.

As an artwork, "A Turk's Head: Mr Henry Mossop in The Guise Of Bajazet From Nicholas Rowe's Play Tamerlane" is an important piece within Hogarth's oeuvre, offering insight into the artist's life, his contemporaries in the performing arts, and the cultural context of 18th-century Britain. It remains a valuable artifact for both art historians and scholars of theatrical history.
