From National Gallery, London:
The subdued and elegant portrait provides a fascinating comparison to the National Gallery’s Portrait of Gerolamo (?) Barbarigo. Both portraits show the sitter in three-quarter profile behind a parapet. This format may reflect Titian's knowledge of portrait prints by Dürer.
The pose enables Titian to show off his skill in painting fabrics. He uses broad brushstrokes and subtle tonal variations to convey the density and sheen of the black silk of the sleeve.
