Morning Modelbuch (3/26/2020)

Portrait of a Young Man, by a Venetian painter from around 1515, inventory #2223 at Pinacoteca di Brera. The portrait is earlier than the first book, but as I’ve said before, the books aren’t necessarily original design, they often become a repository for much older motifs, designs from other mediums, and general ideas circulating around. https://pinacotecabrera.org/en/collezione-online/opere/ritratto-virile/
