PORTRAIT OF A MAN, POSSIBLY PERUGINO, BUST LENGTH, WEARING A BLACK CAP


oil on panel

panel: 8 by 6⅜ in.; 20.3 by 16.2 cm.

framed: 9¼ by 7½ in.; 23.5 by 19.1 cm.

This panel is inspired by Perugino's Self Portrait from circa 1497-1500 in the Collegio del Cambio, Perugia.(1) There is another similar portrait painted in 1504 that was once thought to be by Raphael, but is now attributed to Lorenzo di Credi (inv. no. 1482) in the Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence.
