Pastel technique with black and white chalk on gray-blue laid paper and sign of watermark. Very light foxing. Good condition. The portrait is in an oval. The sheet comes from the same album, a drawing of which, now at the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York, is described by Stampfle as follows: "One of the nine portraits in the Scholz collection that comes from an album whose writing with the name of the ancient owners, Familia Agudia and Sormani, indicates a Lombard provenance .... These drawings with portraits were attributed by a previous owner to Pietro Longhi, and it was Mr. Scholtz who in 1947 correctly identified the author in the Nazari." It is then added that another similar portrait, by the same hand, is in the collection of Walter C. Baker, now in the Metropolitan Museum of New York.
