Lorenzo Tinti's "Portret van arts Camillo Gessi" is an etching depicting a bust portrait of Camillo Gessi. Created between 1636 and 1672, the artwork is a small-scale print, measuring just 146 mm high and 106 mm wide. Gessi, a doctor, is depicted in an ornate frame with a laurel wreath and the inscription "Dottore E. Collegiato Camillo Gessi Senatore". This detail suggests a focus on Gessi's professional and civic roles. The artwork is likely to have been part of a series of portraits of notable individuals of the time.
