This is a portrait engraving of Paolo Giordano Orsini II, Duke of Bracciano, by Ottavio Leoni, a prominent Italian artist known for his portraits. This engraving depicts Orsini in a three-quarter bust pose with a lavishly detailed, intricately-patterned garment. The detail and precision in this artwork is characteristic of Leoni's style. The inscription at the bottom, "Eques Octavius Leo superior Roman' pictor fecit permisiu", indicates the artist's name and the commission for the work. Orsini was a nobleman and a renowned figure of the Italian Renaissance, making this engraving an important historical and artistic document.
