Dear Tristan,
It seems unlikely as he's wearing some VERY fancy
armour. It looks more like a portrait of Charles
IX of France, the Roi under whose privilege the
book was printed. He has the same very
conspicuous long straight nose.
Best wishes,
David

Dear Lutists,
I just noticed that there is a portrait in "Le Cinquième Livre" of the
1562 Le Roy print of Albert de Rippe's works.
Is this considered an authentic portrait of de Rippe or just generic?
Are there any confirmed authentic portraits of 16th c. lutenists?
Links to pics are welcome.
:)
