| Description |  |
This is the earliest of only five known portraits by Rosso. It was produced in Florence, while the artist was active in Andrea del Sarto's workshop. Rosso's characteristically swift and impetuous handling of paint is evident in the facial features and spilky fingers. The sitter, as yet unidentified, glances up from a letter dated 22 June 1518.
