The sculptor Baccio Bandinelli

attributed to Nicolò della Casa [rejected attribution], Antonio Salamanca (mentioned on object), 1548

In this portrait the Florentine sculptor Bandinelli is surrounded by several of his models. In his left hand he holds a statuette of Hercules, whose pose is virtually the same (but in reverse) as the torso by Van der Schardt on view here. It demonstrates how identical models were used as study material by different artists.
