Portrait of a Young Man or Portrait of a Youth, a portrait attributed to Sandro Botticelli (1446–1510),[1] is an example of Italian Renaissance painting. It was painted in the early (c. 1482/1485)[1] or late (c. 1489–1490)[2] 1480s with tempera on panel[3] and is now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The painting was attributed to Botticelli by art historian Bernard Berenson in 1922.[4] Features of this piece include his interesting expression and elegant hand gesture, which some have interpreted as an early depiction of juvenile arthritis[5] or Marfan syndrome.[6]
