Oil painting on canvas, An Unknown Soldier in Armour by Bartolomeo Passarotti (Bologna 1529 – Bologna 1592). A three-quarter-length portrait, in a brest plate. This picture has an old attribution to Titian, but more probably it is not Venetian but by the Bolognese artist, Passerotti, who is well known for his fine portraits. This attribution was the suggestion of Professor E.K Waterhouse.
