Giovanni Battista Quadrone

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a person standing near the corner of a room, leaning against the wall. The individual is standing upright with one leg slightly bent. They have a beard, long hair, and are wearing period attire, including a wide-brimmed hat with a feather, a long coat, tunic, cravat, breeches, and stockings. The person holds an object, possibly a cane. The background shows detailed linework on the walls and a simple floor.
