Giovanni Agostino della Torre and his Son, Niccolò

Agostino, a distinguished doctor, sits at his desk and holds a text by the ancient Greek physician, Galen. A fly has alighted on his handkerchief, reminding us of his mortality; he would die the next year. The figure of his son, Nicolò, may have been added at a later stage, turning the picture into a touching tribute to family and succession.
