Giovanni Gabrielli

Agostino Carracci

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man's upper body. He is turned slightly to the right, with intense eye contact towards the viewer. The man has deep-set eyes, a prominent nose, a neatly groomed beard and mustache, and wavy hair styled upwards. He is wearing a collared shirt with a detailed cross-hatched vest. In his hands, he holds a theatrical mask, which has serene facial features. The background consists of tightly spaced horizontal lines.
