History
Often called the Trivulzio portrait, this portrait was signed by Antonello and dated 1476. It was part of the collection of the Florentine noble family Rinuccini, which was later acquired by the Trivulzio. In 1935 the collection was scattered, although most of the material went to Milan. The Turin museum obtained this portrait and the Turin-Milan Hours.
