For the identification of the sitter, compare the drawing in the Recueil d'Arras, no.308.

Three other versions of the portrait are known: Lille, Musée des Beaux-Arts, 1912, inv. no. 1514 (41 x 30cm.); Vienna, Kunsthistorisches Museum, inv. no. 4442 (36 x 27.2cm.); and Gripsholm, Statens Porträtsamlung, cat. 918. All three are identified from inscriptions as Duke Philipp the Bold, but comparison with other portraits of Phillip are unconvincing (i.e. Claus Slater, Funerary Monument, Dijon Museum, and a painted panel, Versailles, no.4001).

Other names put forward are the Emperor Maximilian I, Alfonso V of Aragon, and Robert de Masmines, but none of these is convincing

A portrait medallion of the same sitter, circa 1440, is in the Schatzkammer, Munich (catalogue 1964, no.19)
