"Portrait of Giulio Romano"

Tiziano Vecellio (Titian) - Oil On Canvas (i) - 101 x 86 cm - 1536 - (Palazzo della Provincia (Mantua, Italy)) (i)
This is Titian's only known surviving drawing for any of his painted portraits. A study above all of the suit of armour and to capture the pose, it is clearly based on a model rather than on the duke himself, to whom the head bears little resemblance. The drawing thus confirms what one might in any case have suspected: that Titian's portraits were not executed in the presence of his sitters, most of whom were too grand or too busy to devote much time to posing for the painter.
