Popham (in P&W): 'The suggestion of Adolfo Venturi [note formerly on mount] that it is the work of Romanino hardly seems possible. The style rather recalls that of Bocaccio Bocaccino at Cremona. It must be a XVI century copy or reconstruction of an earlier portrait, perhaps intended for insertion in a commemorative painting.' In his review of P&W, C.L. Ragghianti suggested an attribution to Melone ('Biblioteca', Critica d'Arte, I, 1954, p. 595), which Popham tentatively accepted (in B(M)).
