"An Architect Holding a Compass in His Right Hand" is a notable painting by the Italian artist Giacomo Ceruti, commonly known as Il Pitocchetto, who was active during the 18th century. This work is an example of Ceruti's skill in portraiture and his attention to detail, particularly in the depiction of working-class individuals and their tools of trade. The painting portrays an architect, as suggested by the title, who is captured in a moment of contemplation or work, with a compass firmly grasped in his right hand, symbolizing his profession and expertise in design and construction.

The composition and the use of light and shadow in the painting emphasize the figure of the architect, drawing attention to the expression on his face and the precision of the compass, which serves as a focal point. Ceruti's work is characterized by a realistic portrayal of his subjects, often highlighting the dignity of labor and the individuality of people from various social strata. "An Architect Holding a Compass in His Right Hand" is consistent with these themes, offering insight into the artist's perspective on the intellectual labor associated with architecture.

While the painting is a significant piece within Ceruti's oeuvre, it also contributes to the broader understanding of 18th-century Italian art, particularly in the context of the depiction of professionals and artisans. The artwork is an important representation of the period's social and cultural milieu, reflecting the values and interests of the time. As with many of Ceruti's works, this painting is appreciated for its historical value and the artist's ability to convey a sense of narrative through portraiture.
