Description:  Portrait of a young man turned to the right. Laid down. Inscribed at upper left in pen and brown ink: del Padovanino (Tessin). Numbered at lower centre in pen and brown ink: 1322. (Sparre).

This and the next three numbers (NMH 1512-1514/1863) form a homogeneous group with a long-standing attribution to Leoni, whose name was commonly linked with Roman portraits from this period.

Large series are now in Berlin, Paris, (Louvre), Florence (Biblioteca Marucelliana) and Vienna (Albertina). Each of them is relatively homogeneous but it is questionable whether they are all by the same hand. A great many, above all in the Albertina, are numbered consecutively and dated from 1611 to 1624.

Our sheets are closest to the Louvre series and no doubt by the same hand. Two of them, like several in the Louvre, have an old inscription attributing them to Padovanino. [Bjurström, It. Drawings, cat. no. 750]
