Tommaso Salini

Ottavio Leoni

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an etching of a man with a bust-length portrait viewed slightly from the side. The man's body is turned to the left, with his head slightly forward, showing a profile view of his face. He has a prominent nose, full lips, and curly hair under a large brimmed hat. The man wears an intricately decorated garment with a collared shirt, a visible chain, and buttons. Beside the main portrait are two smaller faces - one inverted and one youthful - each with distinct features. The background is plain, with text including artistic attribution and the date, 1625.
