Portrait of a Young Nobleman

c.1530-32

RCIN 406025

The left and bottom edges of this panel have been trimmed, and originally all of the sitter’s right hand would have been included. Though the face is highly worked, other areas are only thinly painted, suggesting that the work may be unfinished. The restricted palette and asymmetrical pose give an air of tension and melancholy.
