This etching by Giovanni Antonio Faldoni, created between 1700 and 1750, is a portrait of the Italian art historian Anton Maria Zanetti the Elder. The portrait, housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, depicts Zanetti in a three-quarter view, looking over his shoulder. He is wearing a powdered wig and a jacket with buttons. Zanetti is depicted within an oval frame, set on a plinth, which is typical of etching portraits of the period. The inscription below the portrait reads "Antonius Maria Zanetti", identifying the sitter for viewers.
