Türkenkopf mit langem Bart, Spinnwebbild

18. Jahrhundert

The so-called „spiderweb paintings“, which were actually painted on the weave of a special native moth, were very popular in the Tyrol in the 18th and 19th centuries. The material was streched on a cardboard frame, coated with milk and painted with watercolour. The painting shows the heads of Turks.
