From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Cristoforo Roncalli is a 1623 ink by Ottavio Leoni, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image is a portrait of a man with a long, thin face and a pointed beard. He is wearing a dark jacket with a high collar and a cross on his chest. The background is a light color with a darker area behind the man's head. The man is looking directly at the viewer with a serious expression. His hair is short and neatly styled. The overall effect of the portrait is one of dignity and gravity. This portrait is an example of the work of artist Leoni, Ottavio.
Ottavio Leoni (1578 – 4 September 1630) was an Italian painter and printmaker of the early-Baroque, active mainly in Rome.
