This engraving by Giacomo Piccini, created between 1658 and 1659, depicts a bust-length portrait of Giovanni Battista Pallavicino. The subject is presented in an oval frame, facing slightly to the left, his long curly hair and mustache clearly visible. The inscription surrounding the portrait reveals his title: "Senatore di Genova Gio: Battista Marchese Pallavicino" (Senator of Genoa, John Baptist, Marquis Pallavicino). This engraving provides a glimpse into the life and status of a prominent Genoese figure during the 17th century, capturing his likeness and emphasizing his social rank.
