Ridolfo Ghirlandaio was the son of Domenico Ghirlandaio and, like his father, ran an important workshop in Florence, where he was greatly esteemed as a portraitist. This portrait of an unidentified gentleman is considered to be a late work by the artist. It takes up the approach to portraiture introduced by Leonardo da Vinci, whom Ghirlandaio had met in Florence, and which represented a great step forward in the genre.
