Description
The attribution to Carpaccio is disputed: the names of Bartolomeo Montagna and Lorenzo Lotto have been also proposed, while others assign it to an unknown master from Ferrara or Bologna. The dating is less controversial, having been assigned to the early 1490s, when Carpaccio was painting the Legend of Saint Ursula and other cycles in Venice, and personal portraits of noblemen were becoming common.
The painting depicts an unknown man's face and (partially) bust, above a landscape background. The latter includes a lake, a portion of countryside and mountains, partially hidden by a far haze.
