Portrait of a Man

Titian (Tiziano Vecellio)

ca. 1515 · Oil on canvas · European Paintings

Formerly ascribed to Giorgione, this lyrical painting is now generally regarded as an early work by Titian of about 1515. The surface is seriously abraded, and the canvas has been cut down. It is likely that the right arm originally rested on a parapet and that the whole of the gloved right hand was shown.
