About the piece
Painted around 1760 by Alessandro Longhi, this refined portrait depicts a physician gesturing toward a medical text. The subject is dressed in an ornate green coat with intricate gold embroidery and a voluminous teal cloak, set against a moody, dark background that highlights the luminous quality of the sitter’s face and formal attire.
