This portrait of Pietro Metastasio was created by Friedrich Wilhelm Bollinger between 1818 and 1832, shortly after the artist's death in 1825. The print depicts Metastasio, an Italian librettist, in a formal pose, wearing a black coat and white collar. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and is a fine example of portraiture from the early 19th century, showcasing Bollinger's talent for capturing likeness and detail.
