LOMBARD SCHOOL, CIRCA 1500
PORTRAIT OF A MAN IN PROFILE, SAID TO BE GIOVANNI MOCETTO
inscribed along upper edge: Joanes Mocetto / 1503
oil on panel, unframed
panel: 9 ¾ by 5 ½ in.; 24.7 by 13.9 cm.
The anonymous, yet skillful hand of this painting displays the influence of some of the leading Lombard portraitists such as Zanetto Bugatto and Giovanni Ambrogio de Predis. The inscription along the upper edge, likely added by a later hand, suggests the identity of the sitter as Giovanni Mocetto.
