Portrait of a Merchant

About the Item

Giovanni Francesco Barbieri Guercino Italian 1591-1666 Portrait of a Merchant Sanguine on laid paper Image size: 12 ¾ x 16 inches (32 x 40.5 cm) Wash mount and period frame This fine work is after a drawing by Giovanni Francesco Barbieri Guercino, Italian, (1591-1666), which is part of the National Museum collection in Sweden. This red chalk drawing on light brown paper, clearly shows the careful hatching and crosshatching in by the artist. The unknown sitter is physically present, even from side profile. The hat and jacket give a sense of wealth but not extravagance. His hat is of a type that one sees in other portraits by Bartolomeo Passarotti and other contemporaries. The man’s pronounced nose, facial hair, and angular features are captured with an immediacy. The heavy eye lids and posture give him an air of authority. There is another copy of the drawing in the Royal collection at Windsor Castle.
