Portret van aartsbisschop Carlo Labia 1692

Isabella Piccini’s “Portret van aartsbisschop Carlo Labia” is a 1692 etching depicting Carlo Labia, Archbishop of Corcyra and Adrianople, at the age of 61. The portrait, framed by a decorative border of cherubs and foliage, shows Labia holding a book and a pen in a gesture of scholarship. This work exemplifies Piccini’s ability to capture the likeness and character of her subjects, often prominent figures of the time, with precision and detail. The etching’s small dimensions suggest it was likely intended for private collection or as a gift.
