Cristoforo Roncalli

Ottavio Leoni

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an engraved portrait of a man in intricate clothing, with an aged face, high forehead, defined cheekbones, light hair, and facial hair. He is wearing a high-collared garment and a cloak, with a medallion hanging around his neck. The background consists of engraved hatching within an octagonal border. Inscriptions above the man's head and in the lower corners identify him as "Eques Christophor Ronchalis de Pomeriis pictor" and credit the engraver as "Eques Octavius Leoni," dated "I Franck 1838."
