Engraving, part of 'Habitus variarum orbis gentium' (Costumes of the various peoples of the world), representing the costumes of men and women from various parts of the world, engraved after designs by Boissard and published by Rutz in 1581.

This engraving represents a Mufti Patriarch and interpreter of the Alcoran, a Barbarian nobleman, and a Turk. On the left, the Mufti patriarch wears a long overcoat with long bell-sleeves, trimmed and lined with ermin (?), over a robe fastened with a strip of round buttons down the torso and a fabric belt tied around the waist. He wears a large, round turban on his head, framing the full beard on his face. Flat shoes with pointed toes are seen at the bottom of his robe.

On the center, the Barbarian nobleman wears a long robe with long wide sleeves over a chemise with long puff sleeves. A large turban wraps his head, with a scarf hanging under his chin and beard. Another scarf, with stripes and fringed edges, hangs from his neck. He holds a handkerchief on his right hand and his feet are shod with flat espadrilles with slightly pointed toes.

On the right, the Turk wears a long cape trimmed with fur over a robe (?), of which only the collar is seen and a few round buttons closing it. He wears a large, round turban on his head. His face is bearded.
