Portrait of a Man (recto); Portrait of a Man (accidental offset) (verso), about 1660. Additional Info: For years, the most distinguished Florentine noblemen, scholars, and artists assembled at the Marchese Valori's country villa outside Florence every summer. Baldinucci drew his friends' portraits, all in roughly the same format, and gave them to his renowned host, who hung them in his villa. Scholars are uncertain about the identity of this sitter.
