Joueur de Violon (c.1840s). Jean-Léon Gérôme (French, 1824-1904). Oil on canvas.This painting—after a work believed to be by Raphael during the nineteenth century but later attributed to Sebastiano del Piombo—was painted during his residency in Rome in the 1840s, when he visited the collections at the Palace Sciarra-Colonna. The three-quarter profile of the sitter, as well as his appraising look outward at the viewer, had a profound influence on Gérôme’s subsequent portraits. -- source link
