The present work can be compared with Calcar's Portrait of Attila Grimaldi, exhibited in The Hague in 1925, which can be dated to the 1530s, when Calcar's ability to fuse the Netherlandish treatment of fabrics with the poetic, patrician demeanor of Venetian Cinquecento portraiture, was most in evidence.
