"Second Oriental Head" by Rembrandt van Rijn is a notable work by the Dutch master, created during the period of his artistic career when he was deeply engaged in the study of character heads and tronies. Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1606–1669), widely regarded as one of the greatest visual artists in the history of art and the most important in Dutch art history, produced a vast and influential body of work, including portraits, self-portraits, landscapes, and historical and biblical scenes.

The "Second Oriental Head," executed circa 1635, is part of a series of bust-length studies of men wearing exotic attire or with distinctive features, which Rembrandt used to explore facial expressions, lighting effects, and costume. These studies were not intended to be portraits of specific individuals but rather character studies that allowed Rembrandt to experiment with emotional expression and exotic dress, which was popular among the art collectors of his time.

This particular work is characterized by its detailed depiction of the subject's features, the rich textures of the clothing, and the interplay of light and shadow—a hallmark of Rembrandt's technique. The subject is often depicted with a turban or headgear and a gaze that engages the viewer, inviting contemplation of the subject's inner life or state of mind.

"Second Oriental Head" reflects Rembrandt's skill in rendering the human face with empathy and psychological depth, as well as his mastery of chiaroscuro. The work is part of a larger conversation within Rembrandt's oeuvre about the representation of "the other" and the fascination with foreign cultures that was prevalent in 17th-century Europe.

As with many of Rembrandt's works, "Second Oriental Head" has been studied extensively by art historians and is considered an important piece for understanding the artist's approach to the tronie genre and his broader artistic practice. It remains an exemplary piece of Rembrandt's exploration of character and expression, contributing to the enduring legacy of the artist's profound impact on the art world.
