About the piece
Dated 1622, this oil on panel portrait by an anonymous Lombard painter depicts an eight-year-old nobleman in formal period attire. The subject's bold red doublet and puffed breeches provide a dramatic contrast against the deep, dark background, while fine details like his lace ruff and decorative shoes emphasize the historical craftsmanship of the era.
