Portret van een man c. 1620

Ottavio Leoni's "Portret van een man" (c. 1620) is a small etching depicting a man in a three-quarter view. Leoni, known for his portraits of Italian aristocracy, employed a detailed hatching technique to render the man's face and clothing. This small artwork showcases Leoni's skill in capturing the likeness of his subject with great precision, making it a valuable example of early 17th-century portraiture. The etching is a testament to Leoni's artistry and his ability to bring life to his subjects.
