Portrait of Pietro Bembo

Artist	Raphael
Year	c. 1506
Medium	Oil on wood
Dimensions	54 cm × 69 cm (21 in × 27 in)
Location	Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest

The image is ostensibly a portrait of Venetian Cardinal Pietro Bembo, Raphael's long-time friend.[3] Raphael did make a black chalk drawing of Bembo during Bembo's visit to Urbino in 1506.[4][5] The picture hung in Bembo's home for years before it disappeared.

The lack of resemblance of this picture to its namesake, particularly in the nose, has led to other subjects being proposed, including Agnolo Doni,[1] whom Raphael painted around the same time. In a 2004 biography of Bembo, Carol Kidwell states that the subject "appears a happy courtier, not a man set on making his mark in the world, and he wears a red beret while Venetian noblemen wore black."[1]
