About the piece
This 1764 portrait by Pietro Longhi captures his contemporary, Francesco Guardi, in the midst of his craft. Depicted with a palette and brush, the artist's features and intricate lace cuffs are rendered with the sophisticated brushwork and soft lighting typical of Venetian Rococo painting.
