Portrait of Fortunato Bartolomeo de Felice

Portrait of Fortunato Bartolomeo de Felice is a painting by an unknown artist, probably completed between 1750 and 1765.

The portrait was commissioned by Fortunato Bartolomeo De Felice himself, an Italian count and Enlightenment figure.

In a contrast to his austere jacket, white frills protrude at his wrist and he wears a black velvet turban.

He has blue eyes under rather heavy lids, a strong Roman nose and a hint of a mustache growing.

The right hand side is a matte black, contrasting with the navy blue of his jacket and the rich velvet of his turban.
