Zaltieri is a 1880 by Otto Henry Bacher, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a man with a dark beard and mustache, wearing a dark jacket and hat. He is shown from the chest up, with his head turned slightly to the right. The background of the painting is a warm, earthy tone. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting, with the subject's face and clothing standing out against the muted background. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the subject is lost in thought.
