FROM THE BARNES FOUNDATION’S CATALOG
Attributed to the Venetian artist Bonifazio de' Pitati, this painting depicts two bearded men who are thought to be either prophets or philosophers. The figures appear in close-up and before an ambiguous dark background, providing little information for the viewer. The men seem to gaze at something outside the frame, which suggests that this small canvas is either a fragment from a larger composition or a study for a larger work.
