This drawing by Pier Francesco Mola, a prominent Italian Baroque artist, is a caricature of a man thought to be Pietro da Cortona, a well-known painter and architect of the same period. The drawing showcases Mola's talent for capturing the essence of a person through quick, expressive strokes. The figure is depicted from behind, leaning on a staff, highlighting his hunched posture and the artist's playful exaggeration of his features, creating a humorous and insightful portrait.
