Giovanni Baglione

Ottavio Leoni

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an engraving of a man's bust. He is positioned slightly turned to his left, looking directly at the viewer. The man has a prominent nose, deep-set eyes, and a mustache that curls upward. His hair is short and slightly unkempt, and he has a pointed beard. He wears an intricately detailed garment with a large ruffled collar and decorative patterns. The garment shows detailed cross-hatching work and looks rich in texture. He wears a chain with a cross pendant. The background is plain, with no visible scenery or objects. The engraving is framed within an octagonal border, with text around the frame, presumably identifying the subject and the artist.
