Bust Study of a Young Man

A photograph of a drawing formerly ascribed to Giorgione, then in the collection of the Duc of Aumale. Annotated in pencil on the back. Not listed in Ruland (1876).

The drawing resembles a painting once in the Lucien Bonaparte Collection in Rome, previously understood as a portrait by Raphael of G.F. Penni. A print after this portrait (published in 'Choix de gravures à l'eau-forte d'après les peintures et les marbres de la galerie de Lucien Bonaparte', 1812) can be found at RCIN 852138.
