| Description |
The identity of the sitter is not known. Dietrich Rauchenberger has suggested that the painting may depict Leo Africanus (c.1494-c.1554).(Rauchenberger 1999, pp. 78-79) Another possibility is that painting depicts the Italian poet Marcantonio Flaminio (1497/8–1550) who was a friend of the artist.(Masonen 2001, p. 128) |
