Catalogue Note
This work is based on the portrait of Uguccione by Altissimo in the Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence (Inv. no. Ic447). It was one of a large series of portraits of illustrious men that he was commissioned by Cosimo I de' Medici to copy after the renowned collection belonging to Paolo Giovio.
