From the Getty Museum record
The tradition of portraying male sitters, bust-length, at a three-quarter view, was particularly resonant in Venice and the *Veneto* region during the Renaissance. With his bold traits and grave stance, this figure is characteristic of the types featured by Giovanni Bellini and Andrea Mantegna. Short strokes of hatching record the contours of the sitter's face and simultaneously soften it by surrounding it in shadow.
