PORTRAIT OF A BOY WEARING A RED ROBE AND A GOLD CHAIN, circa 1545-55 Florentine School. This work seems to be influenced by the portraits of the Medici children found in the Galleria Uffizi in Florence. From the 15th to the 19th century, red coral was used as an amulet against infections and black magic throughout Europe. The two thoughts symbolize humility and memory, indicating that it could be a posthumous portrait.
