Portrait of Bindo Altoviti

The Portrait of Bindo Altoviti is an oil painting on canvas completed around 1515 by the Italian High Renaissance painter Raphael. It depicts Bindo Altoviti, a rich banker born of Florentine origin who was in his mid-twenties when he commissioned this work. The painting remained in Altoviti's family until the 1800s, and after a series of sales it was ultimately acquired by the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
