This bust-length portrait of a young man follows a three-quarter length portrait painted by Domenico Puligo around 1525. That painting, which is today in Florence in the Galleria Palatina, Palazzo Pitti (inv. no 184),1 entered the Medici collection in the 1630s, after which time the present panel was likely completed.
