From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Pier Francesco Pauli is a 1625 ink by Ottavio Leoni, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows a man with curly hair and a mustache. He wears a patterned vest and a collared shirt. The background is dark, and the man's face is lit from the left side. The man's clothing and hairstyle suggest a formal portrait. The engraving technique creates a detailed, high-contrast image. If you're interested in more engravings from the Baroque period, look up the work of Leoni, Ottavio.
Ottavio Leoni (1578 – 4 September 1630) was an Italian painter and printmaker of the early-Baroque, active mainly in Rome.
