Giovanni Baglione

Artist, Italian, 1573 - 1644

The image shows a full-length sketch of a person in a three-quarter view, facing slightly to the right. The person seems to be leaning forward slightly, with their right arm extended outward and their left hand resting on their waist. Their face is in profile, with subtle facial features, and their hair seems to be tucked back or covered. The person is wearing long, flowing robes with detailed folds and drapery. The background consists of a textured surface, likely from aged paper, with no distinct objects or scenery visible.
