Giovan Carlo Doria

Giovan Carlo Doria, a painting by Simon Vouet, created in 1621. 



The artwork depicts a bust-length portrait of Giovan Carlo Doria. He is a light-skinned man with dark brown hair styled in loose curls around his face and ears. His expression is serious and somewhat somber. He has a small mustache and a goatee. 



Doria is wearing a large, intricately pleated white collar, typical of 17th-century fashion. Over this, he wears a dark-colored garment, possibly a jacket or doublet, with a hint of red detailing visible near the collarbone, possibly part of an insignia or decoration. The background is dark and indistinct, focusing attention on the subject. The painting is framed within an oval shape. The artwork's dimensions are 0.95 meters wide and 1.29 meters high. It is housed in Room 825.
