Portrait of cardinal Alberico Archinto (1698-1758) is a 1756 oil by Anton Raphael Mengs, a Rococo painting work, held at Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon.
This portrait features a man seated in a red chair, dressed in a white robe with a red cape draped over his shoulders. He holds a piece of paper in his right hand and rests his left hand on his stomach. The background is dark, with a faint marble pattern visible behind him. The man's attire suggests he holds a position of importance, and the formal setting implies a sense of gravity. The artist's use of color and composition draws attention to the subject's face and hands. To learn more about the artist behind this portrait, look up Anton Raphael Mengs.
