Portrait of a Young Man with a Book (Lotto)


Portrait of a Young Man with a Book is an oil on panel painting by Lorenzo Lotto, now in the Pinacoteca del Castello Sforzesco in Milan, to which it was bequeathed in 1876 - at that point its artist was unknown. It is dated to between the end of Lotto's time in Bergamo and his early years in Venice, that is between 1524 and 1527, and more specifically to around 1526.
