Carlo Lasinio, after Carlo Maratta

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man seated with his upper body turned slightly to the right. He has deep-set eyes, slightly furrowed brows, and closed lips. He has curly hair that reaches past his shoulders. He is wearing a dark cloak over a white shirt with a high collar visible at the neck. His hand rests on a book with a ribbon. The background is plain, with a soft, dark gradient emphasizing his presence in the image.
