Filippo d'Angeli is a 1789 ink by Carlo Lasinio, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a close-up portrait of a man with a serious expression. He’s wearing a dark coat over a white lace collar, and his dark hair is pulled back. The background is plain, so all the focus is on his face and the folds of his clothing. The signature at the bottom reads *"Filippo d’Angeli"*—but the artist’s name is actually Lasinio, who used mezzotint, a printmaking method that creates detailed shading. The red spot on his cheek might be a mark of illness or just a bold brushstroke. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how artists like Lasinio used light and shadow to shape faces.
