This engraving by Agostino Carracci, completed around 1585-1590, depicts Pietro Antonio Tolentino. The portrait is presented in an oval frame within a larger rectangular frame, creating a sense of depth. The subject is portrayed in detail, with a focus on his facial features and attire. The intricate details of Tolentino's clothing, particularly the fur collar, suggest a wealthy and prestigious figure. The artist's signature appears in the lower right corner. This work is an excellent example of Carracci's mastery of portraiture and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects.
