Watercolor on paper. Signed lower right. Giovanni Piancastelli was an eclectic artist, who created paintings, drawings, watercolors, engravings, also painting ceramics and tapestries with herbal juice. Highly esteemed by Roman aristocratic families, he was a drawing teacher for many of their children. In a short time he acquired a reputation as an expert in both art and architecture and, in particular, he became the art consultant and teacher of Marcantonio Borghese's children, at whose death he was responsible for reorganizing the family collection. He was director of the Borghese Gallery when it passed to the State, and became one of the greatest experts in drawings and prints, as well as one of the most important collectors of the time. The popular portrait presented here shows a street trombone player. The watercolor has several slight humidity stains. It is presented in a stylish frame.
