Antonello's Portrait of a Man is probably a relatively late work. It is likely that there was originally a parapet at the base bearing the painter's signature, but this has been removed.

The picture is often thought to be a self portrait, because the direct gaze, as if painted looking in a mirror, is typical of self portraits. X-ray photographs reveal that the eyes were originally turned the other way, which may call this idea into question.
