Lot Essay

The armorial depicted upper left may be associated with the Sulz family, specifically the combined arms resulting from the marriage of Alwig X von Sulz and Verena von Brandis in 1477. This identification is not entirely secure; in most depictions of this armorial the cannons point left, whereas here they are directed right. The sitter's identity remains unknown but the style of the portrait corresponds with the production of artists active in Florence in the early seventeenth century, such Tiberio Titi or the brothers Valore and Domenico Casini.
