Portrait of a Boy (Perugino)
Portrait of a Boy is a 1495 oil on panel portrait, now in the Uffizi in Florence. In the past it has been attributed to Lorenzo di Credi, Viti, Jacopo Francia, Raphael and others, but Giovanni Morelli's reattribution of it to Perugino is now widely accepted. Although the lack of a landscape background is unusual for this painter, the style is typical of his portrait technique.

gollark: I have a tablet for convoluted reasons, but it gets absolutely no use because a phone and laptop cover all the things I might want it for.
gollark: Than a phone? I mean, yes, they fix some of the problems, but aren't as portable.
gollark: I'm pretty sure a lot of people just use phones for most computing tasks *anyway* now.
gollark: It is more problematic if it can be remotely exploited by non-carriers into doing things, which has apparently been the case.
gollark: It doesn't really matter if the SIM card is calling/SMSing/TCPing because the carrier literally *runs the network* and could also just do things in your name on their end.
