A black and white photograph of a cropped and close-up of a corner of an oil painting on panel. The photograph, taken at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum captures the face of the subject, Tommaso Inghirami and the top left portion of the gilt frame. Inghirami's eyes appear to look upward at the left hand corner of the gilt frame. The cracks and small chips in the aged oil paint on panel are especially highlighted in the black and white photograph.
