CARLEVARIS, Marianna
(b. 1703, Venezia, d. ca. 1750, Venezia)

Portrait of Gerolamo Maria Balbi

1740-42
Pastel on paper
Museo del Settecento Veneziano, Ca' Rezzonico, Venice

The companion piece of the portrait represents Cornelia Foscolo Balbi. The derivation of the portraits from Rosalba's models, though translated with a more incisive graphic sign and colder colouring, is evident in the repetition of the poses and the intimate characterisation of the figures.
