Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a drawing of an older man's head and partial upper torso. The man is facing slightly downwards with his head inclined forward. He has a prominent nose, bushy eyebrows, and a thick, full beard that extends down from his chin. His hair is long, textured, and covers his ears and part of his head. The background is a simple, textured surface with the name "CASTIGLIONE GENOVESE" inscribed on the top left.
