Giovanni David

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an illustration of a person standing upright. The person has a rounded face with plump cheeks, small deep-set eyes, short curly hair, and is wearing a long coat over a suit with a buttoned waistcoat and knee-breeches. They have shoes with buckles and hold a tricorn hat and a bundle of papers or a book under one arm. There are no noticeable pieces of jewelry. In the background on the right, there is an ornate stone fountain with a lion's head, and on the left side, there is a simple building with smoke coming from its chimney. The foreground includes some sparse vegetation on the ground.
