"The Duchess of Noia" is a caricature drawing by Italian artist Pier Leone Ghezzi (1674-1755), currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago. This quick sketch, completed in pen and brown ink, depicts the Duchess in a humorous and exaggerated style. Ghezzi was known for his satirical portraits of high-society figures, capturing their physical characteristics and mannerisms with sharp wit. This drawing, a prime example of his work, offers a glimpse into the social and artistic trends of 18th-century Italy.
