Portrait of a Man is an oil painting by Titian, made about 1515, now in the Indianapolis Museum of Art.[1]
Identity of the sitter
It may have been the painting seen by Carlo Ridolfi in Nicolas Régnier's house around 1648.[citation needed] It has traditionally been known as Portrait of Ariosto due to its similarity to A Man with a Quilted Sleeve, another Titian work previously thought to depict Ariosto, and to a print of Ariosto in the 1532 edition of Orlando Furioso.[2]
Provenance
Its status as an autograph work by the artist is supported by Bernard Berenson.[citation needed] Auctioned at Sotheby's in London on 29 January 1929, it passed to the Booth Tarkington collection in Indianapolis.[citation needed]
