With the typical proud characters of the official portraiture of the eighteenth century, this painting, executed by the Genoese painter active in Naples in the twenties of the eighteenth century, was conceived as a counterpart to the equestrian portrait painted by Beltrano; in fact the character depicted, this time on a rearing horse, is a descendant of Carlo di Tocco. Leonardo, Prince of Acaja and Montemiletto, Vicar General of the Further Principality for Charles of Bourbon in the mid-18th century. This painting also comes from the collection of the CapeceGaleota Dukes, descendants of the di Tocco family, which merged into the Pio Monte della Misericordia collections thanks to the Carelli - CapeceGaleota donation in 1933.
