Photograph of a full length portrait of the opera singer Italo Gardoni (1821-82) standing, facing three-quarters to the left. He looks ahead, away from the camera. He rests his right hand on a plinth and holds a top hat in his left hand, which he places on his hip. He poses in front of a painted backdrop depicting a tree lined avenue, with an equestrian sculpture in the upper right area.
