Plate 38: head of a man with a moustache and cap, facing right in profile, from 'Various portraits' (Recueil de diverses pièces servant à l'art de portraiture) 1645 - 1650

This etching, "Plate 38: Head of a Man with a Moustache and Cap," is part of Stefano della Bella's "Various Portraits," a collection of portraits created between 1645 and 1650. The work showcases della Bella's skill in capturing the likeness of a man in profile, wearing a cap. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the man's features, particularly the mustache and the folds of the cap. This drawing is a testament to della Bella's mastery of etching, a technique that allowed him to achieve both subtle tonal variations and precise linework.
