## Commentary

The sitter of the portrait, said to be &#39;Perari di Cremona&#39;, is depicted half-length, wearing a high-collared black coat with white cuffs and collar, holding a pair of gloves, and standing before a green curtain. In spite of the inscription on the reverse of this panel as an identification of the sitter - &#39;Perari di Cremona&#39; - the identity of the sitter remains elusive, since no trace of such a personality has ever come to light.
