GIOVANNI MARIA BUTTERI | PORTRAIT OF A BOY IN A BURGUNDY COAT AND WHITE RUFF, BUST-LENGTH

Butteri was a close friend and collaborator of Alessandro Allori in late-16th century Florence. Francesca Baldassari dates this small portrait to circa 1580, after Butteri had decorated the studiolo of Francesco I de' Medici in the Palazzo Vecchio and established his own workshop.
