Stefano Della Bella

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a close-up side profile of a person, showing the upper portion of their body, including the head, neck, and part of the shoulder area. The person is depicted in a left-facing profile, with their head turned slightly downwards. The facial features are detailed with a nose, chin, and lips clearly visible. The hair is wavy and relatively short, covering most of the ear. The person is wearing a garment that drapes over their shoulder, suggesting a cloak or robe. The background is plain. No jewelry or objects are visible in the image.
