About the piece
This mid-18th-century portrait by Giacomo Ceruti demonstrates the artist's skill in capturing character and texture. The sitter is depicted with a confident gaze, dressed in a finely tailored blue coat and holding yellow leather gloves, all framed by a classic trompe-l'oeil painted oval typical of the period.
