In this artwork, how is the Analysis discussed?
This is one of the few examples of a full-length portrait by Titian's hand. Giovanni Morelli and Charles Ricketts attributed it erroneously to Moroni. The picture affected Ricketts (in reproduction: he had not seen the original) as a late picture by Moroni; he thought it gauche in painting (noting the "clumsy short thumbs") and design. This was also the impression of Morelli, basing his opinion upon a photograph.Vasari mentions this portrait just after the one of the Ambassador Mendozza, done in 1541; and according to Georg Gronau his indication is confirmed by a letter dated July 1642, in which the portrait is mentioned as finished. Gronau therefore thought it was produced in the first months of the year 1542. An article in the Gazette des Beaux-Arts corrected the date to 1552. The work is signed and dated, "1.5.5.2. / TITIAN FECIT".
