An Azappo Archer with a Cheetah, painted by Jacopo Ligozzi (Italian, 1547 - 1626) around 1575. Brush, pen and brown ink, tempera colors, and painted gold. This was a seafaring Turkish archer. "Ligozzi probably painted this sheet as part of a book devoted to figures in Turkish costume, many of whom are accompanied by animals. Rather than drawing from life, he used a variety of costume engravings. Ligozzi seems to have invented the idea of showing animals alongside the costumed figures. Throughout his book, the animals often act as commentaries on the figures or reflect physiognomic similarities; here, heads turned to the right and the finely drawn human and feline whiskers link the azappo and the cheetah."
