Portasi in Valle il Cavalier... (Arrival of the Master)

Marco Alvise Pitteri after Pietro Longhi

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts multiple individuals in 18th-century attire surrounding a central figure. The central figure is wearing a tricorn hat, a long coat, knee-length pants, stockings, and buckled shoes. The other figures are dressed in simpler attire, with differing poses, facial features, and hairstyles. A small dog stands in the foreground, and the background shows an indistinct interior space with a high ceiling.
