## Commentary

Formerly this tondo was attributed to such masters as Pontormo and Perugino. The young Lomazzo is presented in profile like a figure on an antique medal and dressed in a white tunic covering one shoulder. The choice of a classical profile attests to the erudite reading and broad education of the young artist.
