"A Turk's Head Mr Henry Mossop in the Guise of Bajazet from Nicholas Rowe's Play Tamerlane" is an artwork by the renowned 18th-century English painter William Hogarth. The painting is a theatrical portrait of the actor Henry Mossop (1729–1773) in character as Bajazet, a role he performed in Nicholas Rowe's tragedy "Tamerlane," which was first performed in 1701. Hogarth, known for his satirical and social commentary works, also excelled in portraiture, capturing the essence of his subjects with keen observation and technical skill.

In this particular painting, Hogarth depicts Mossop with a dramatic intensity befitting the tragic role of Bajazet, a character based on the historical Ottoman Sultan Bayezid I, who was defeated and captured by Timur (Tamerlane) in the Battle of Ankara in 1402. The play "Tamerlane" itself is a loose historical adaptation, reflecting the political and cultural interests of early 18th-century England, and it was popular in its time for its themes of tyranny and liberty.

Hogarth's portrait of Mossop as Bajazet is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical context. It reflects the popularity of theatrical performances in the 18th century and the celebrity status of actors like Mossop. Moreover, it provides insight into the visual culture of the period, showcasing the elaborate costumes and expressive acting style of the time.

The painting is an example of Hogarth's ability to transcend mere likeness to capture the psychological complexity of his subjects. It stands as a testament to the interplay between art, theater, and history, offering a window into the rich tapestry of 18th-century British cultural life. As with many of Hogarth's works, the painting is likely held in a collection or museum, contributing to the understanding of the period's art and theatrical history.
