"Ritratto Maschile" and "Ritratto Femminile" are a pair of oil paintings by the Italian artist Giacomo Ceruti, known as Il Pitocchetto, celebrated for his realistic portrayal of lower-class subjects. These works, dating from the 18th century, exemplify Ceruti's focus on the dignity and detail of everyday life, particularly among the poor and working-class individuals, which was a significant departure from the grandiose and mythological subjects favored by many of his contemporaries.

"Ritratto Maschile" (Male Portrait) and "Ritratto Femminile" (Female Portrait) showcase Ceruti's skill in capturing the nuanced expressions and individuality of his sitters. The paintings are notable for their directness and lack of idealization, presenting the subjects with an honesty that was groundbreaking for the time. Ceruti's use of light, texture, and color imbues these portraits with a sense of presence and vitality, making them compelling examples of his contribution to the genre of portraiture.

While the identities of the individuals depicted in these portraits are not known, the works are significant for their representation of the human experience beyond the aristocracy and religious figures that dominated the art of the period. Ceruti's attention to the textures of the subjects' clothing and the intricate details of their features reflects a broader cultural interest in the lives of common people during the Enlightenment.

These paintings are held in high regard not only for their artistic merit but also for their sociocultural significance. They provide a window into the world of 18th-century Italy, offering insights into the social conditions and the shifting attitudes towards class and representation in art. As part of Ceruti's oeuvre, "Ritratto Maschile" and "Ritratto Femminile" contribute to the understanding of the artist's empathetic approach to portraiture and his lasting impact on the genre.
