UNKNOWN MASTER, French
(active 1470-1490)

Portrait of a Venetian Gentleman

1470-90
Oil on oak panel, 46 x 31 cm
Musée Bertrand, Châteauroux

The sitter of this portrait, a man of about thirty, is shown in a closely cropped composition against a flat neutral white background and behind a stone parapet. His clothes suggest a north Italian origin. It is probably the work of an unknown French (or perhaps Flemish) painter.
