This portrait of Cesare Bonesana, Marchese di Beccaria, created by Jean-Baptiste-François Bosio between 1780 and 1827, is a fine example of Neoclassical portraiture. Beccaria is depicted seated in an ornate chair, his hand resting on a table, with a book and a cane resting within reach. The detailed rendering of the sitter's clothing and the elegant, yet understated, composition reflects the artistic sensibilities of the era, emphasizing clarity and balance. This drawing is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
