Portrait Of A Gentleman 18th Century

Portrait of  gentleman Lombardo. This one is represented seated in his study on a theatrical background enhanced by curtains embraced with elegant folds of taupe color, bust turned slightly to the right, face facing, directed towards the spectator. He is dressed in a long, very tight-fitting jacket in midnight blue velvet enhanced with hooks double-padded with gold thread, over a partially unbuttoned leotard in turquoise blue silk with gold gallons and buttons over a white silk shirt with fine immaculate crop; all draped in a purple cape. His posture and haughty face tell us more about his character traits, ambitious and authoritarian. It features a massive face with deep, light green eyes, a massive nose, a thin mouth, a clear forehead, and a rounded chin. Her features are asserted by a perfectly powdered wig as strict as it is imposing.

E Pres. – Il Sig.re.IC Don Franco Billo-tta deSignore Abbati e decurioni della Città di Pavia.
