About the piece
Painted around 1750 by the Venetian master Pietro Longhi, this portrait captures the formal elegance of the 18th-century elite. The sitter is depicted in a large, powdered periwig and a heavy dark cloak, with the fine detailing of his gold waistcoat and white lace cuffs providing a subtle contrast to the moody, tonal background.
