Description : Ritratto di nobiluomo

Oil painting on canvas. On the back of the work there is a nineteenth-century paper label which attributes the painting to Carlo Marotta, and erroneously identifies the character portrayed as Alfonso, son of Francesco I d'Este. It is the portrait of a nobleman with a long white wig, which in the eighteenth century became a refined symbol of high lineage, a complement to the clothing with which the rich showed all their pomp and vanity, and later became an accessory of magistrates and judges in their functions. The black cape worn by the nobleman, enriched by a precious lace jabot, could lead him back to this category. Restored and relined, the painting is presented in a period frame.
