The artist belongs to the generation bridging the 15th and 16th centuries and was highly regarded in his own day for his portraiture. This early portrait was executed during the artist's stay in Venice, the sitter, who holds a pink or carnation in his right hand indicating a betrothal portrait, was probably a Venetian senator.
"A man carries a pink, or carnation, in his right hand. It was the custom for a bride to hide a pink in her clothes on her wedding day. Its presence here, along with the large blue and gold ring on the man’s left thumb, suggests that the portrait commemorates his marriage.

Solario was from Milan though he also worked in Venice. Although the man’s identity is unknown, his outfit tells us he was a Venetian of high rank. The cap and stole – the piece of fabric folded across his chest – signified maturity in Venice. His tunic suggests he may have been a magistrate, as only members of one of the city’s councils were permitted to wear red.
