About the painting
This painting was executed on a tile, an unusual technique typical of Florence from the 15th century onwards. It depicts the head of a boy who shows some Northern features. Portraits were particularly favoured on such support. This work was probably made by a foreign artist during a stay in Florence in the late 17th century.
