Descriptions

Description: The original work is a painting by Lorenzo Lotto from c. 1504 - 1505, at the Gallerie Nazionale di Capodimonte, Naples. The artist identifies the original as a work by Holbein, but this is incorrect. It is unclear if this was a previous attribution or just the artist's error.
