| Description |  |
The pink was a symbol of betrothal, so the portrait may have been made as an engagement present. The sitter's dress suggests he may have been a magistrate or government official, perhaps in Venice, where Andrea Solario worked in the 1490s. The style suggests that Solario had studied portraits by Antonello da Messina.
