Cacasenno Eating Pasta

Giuseppe Maria Crespi and Ludovico Mattioli

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a seated figure with their full body in view. The person is on the ground, leaning slightly forward, supporting a large bowl in front of them with one hand, while the other hand is raised towards their mouth. Their facial features are partially obscured by their bowed head. Their head is covered with a cloth or turban-like wrap, and they are wearing a loose-fitting outfit. The background shows a textured image of an old building or ruins, with mountainous or hilly scenery.
