• Resumen

  • Since its rediscovery in 1938, Botticelli’s "Young man holding a roundel", which incorporates a fragment of a fourteenth-century Sienese painting, has posed a puzzle about the status of this insert. Studies of the panel, X-radiographs, practices of collecting early Sienese art, family archives and a nineteenth-century memoir provide a credible explanation of how and when the portrait assumed its remarkable form and travelled from Italy to Wales.
