Cesare Nebbia

Carlo Lasinio, after Cesare Nebbia

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man from the upper torso up, with a high forehead, receding brown hair, slightly curled above his ears, and a small goatee. The man looks directly at the viewer with a calm expression and slightly furrowed eyebrows. He is wearing a dark green coat with large buttons and a soft white collar, highlighted by light falling on it. There are no visible jewelry or objects in his hands. The background is a simple, muted brown tone. The name "Cesare Nebia" is inscribed on the lower section of the image, along with other text and numbers, partially cropped by the frame.
