'Giovanni Coralli' is a work by Francisco Scotto, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a black-and-white portrait print of a man in a white cravat and dark coat. His hair is short and wavy, and he’s looking off to the side with a serious expression. The oval frame sits on a plain background, and the name "Giovanni Coralli" is written below it in small, neat letters. The text under the portrait mentions his role in ballet, hinting he was a dancer. The print looks old, with slight wear around the edges, giving it a faded, historical feel.

A stipple engraving by Luigi Rados after Francisco Scotto depicts a male figure in an oval frame, shown from the head and shoulders facing right. The subject wears early 19th-century attire, including a cravat, high collar, and a coat with revers. The inscription below the frame identifies the figure as Giovanni Coralli, principal dancer at the Royal Teatro alla Scala, and provides details about the artist’s studio in Milan. The print was acquired by the museum through the Cyril Beaumont Bequest.
