November’s Artwork of the Month has been chosen by Jeanne Nuechterlein, Reader in History of Art at the University of York, and member of the FYAG committee.
This intriguing portrait of a young man, painted in 1556, featured in the exhibition ‘Making a Masterpiece: Bouts and Beyond, 1450-2020’, which Jeanne co-curated. Here she explains why the portrait has become a firm personal favourite, despite both the sitter and artist being unknown.
