In front of a dark, neutral background there is the two-thirds figure of Cardinal Odescalchi sitting with his body in half-profile, and his face in a three-quarters profile turned towards the left of the painting. He is wearing a cardinal's habit with a golden chain and the pendant of a cardinal's cross. In his raised right hand he is holding a document, while the left hand is resting on the armrest of the armchair. His face is characterized by a gentle expression and his gaze is turned to the observer. Inventory No: S-5
