Artist, Italian, 1759 - 1838

The image shows a person standing upright, resting their right hand on the side of their face while holding a basket in their left hand. The person has curly hair peeking out from underneath a large black hat with a decorative element. Their facial features suggest an older individual with discernible wrinkles and a moustache. They are dressed in a long blue coat over a dark garment, with a red sash or cloth partially visible, and white stockings paired with black shoes. A draped fabric hangs over their left shoulder with the text "BABO GIORGIO" visible. The background is plain and light in color.
