This painting has been in distinguished collections since the late-eighteenth century and was long believed to be a portrait by Raphael of his most important patron, Taddeo Taddei. Modern scholarship has discredited that attribution.
Based on the delicately interpreted background landscape and sensitive execution, it is now attributed to Bugiardini, who studied with Domenico Ghirlandaio and was also influenced by Raphael.
