Compendio delle Vite de' Pittori Veneziani istorici piùrinomati del presente secolo con suoi ritratti tratti dal naturale delineati ed incise da Alessandro Longhi Veneziano
The image shows a waist-up portrait of a man in an oval frame. He faces forward and slightly to his left, with distinct facial features. His curly hair is partially covered by a headscarf or turban-like cloth. He wears a loose, draped garment with no visible fastenings. The oval frame includes the text "Alexander Longhi Pictor." The background features ornate scrollwork, figures, and decorative elements. A circular medallion above the portrait shows a face with flowing hair. The bottom corners display artistic motifs like a painter's palette and brushes. The scene is rendered in a detailed, engraved style.
