Portret van de schrijver Allessandro Manzoni 1822 - 1845

This anonymous portrait of Alessandro Manzoni, an Italian writer, is a black and white print, framed in an elaborate ornate frame. The artist is unknown, but the piece was likely created between 1822 and 1845. Manzoni is depicted looking out from the frame, with his head tilted slightly to his right. He appears to be wearing a dark coat over a white shirt. The portrait, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, measures 475 mm by 315 mm. The signature of Alessandro Manzoni can be seen below the frame. This portrait would have been popular with audiences interested in art during the 19th century, especially during the Romantic era.
