Portrait of Pope Innocent X is a 1650 oil by Unknown, a High Baroque Italian work, depicting Innocent X, held at Accademia Carrara.
The painting depicts a man with a serious expression, wearing a red robe and a matching hat. He has a white collar around his neck and is looking directly at the viewer. The man's face is painted in detail, with a prominent nose and a hint of a beard. His eyes seem to be gazing into the distance, giving the impression that he is lost in thought. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to draw attention to the subject's face and clothing.
