Portret van Cesare Facchinetti 1658 - 1676

This etching by French artist Etienne Picart is a portrait of Cesare Facchinetti, a cardinal in the Roman Catholic Church. The portrait, created sometime between 1658 and 1676, shows Facchinetti in traditional clerical garb and a cardinal's hat. It is a good example of the etching technique and the artist's skill in rendering detail and realism. The image is enclosed within a decorative oval frame and features fine lines and shading. The Latin inscription below the portrait identifies the subject and his title as "Bishop of Praeneste" and "Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church."
