A pen and ink drawing showing two studies after plates from Dominique Vivant Denon's Voyage dans la basse et la haute Egypte pendant les campaigns du General Bonaparte.
A bust-length portrait of a turbaned man, after Plate 106, is shown to the upper centre. The man is shown facing left in profile with his eyes cast upwards. He is shown with a beard and is wearing a turban. A study of three male heads is shown below. The head in the centre is shown facing forward and the other two heads are both shown facing right in profile. All three heads are shown with beards and wearing turbans. Both studies are signed.

Prince Albert made an etching (ASE 64, see RCIN 816003) after the upper study on 28 August 1840, under the guidance of Sir George Hayter who was working on his oil painting of the marriage of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert (RCIN 407165) at the time.
