Giuseppe Cesari

Ottavio Leoni

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man from the chest up, positioned in a three-quarter view facing slightly to his right. He has a mustache and a small goatee, and his hair is medium length, wavy, and parted to the sides with a slightly receding hairline. His facial expression is neutral, with a calm gaze directed towards the viewer. The man is wearing a garment with a high collar adorned with intricate lace details. The garment is secured with buttons and appears textured. Around the man's neck, subtle hints of a cross pendant can be seen on his clothing. The background of the portrait is a plain, neutral area with an octagonal border framing the man's bust and additional decorative lettering surrounding the image, identifying him with text at the top and sides.
