Paolo Farinati (also called Farinato) was a Veronese painter, the uncle of Giambattista Zelotti who collaborated with Paolo Veronese and Fasolo.
The dark palette and partial lighting of the face and hands are typical of Venetian portraiture at that time. Although the portrait has been attributed to Paolo Farinati, it could also be a Flemish work from the circle of Rubens.
