拍品专文

The portrait appears to be that of Galen, the surgeon, philosopher and physician of Greek origin whose work was translated into Arabic, explaining his turbaned appearance on this albarello. For similar albarelli attributed to Faenza see Giuliana Gardelli, Italika, Maiolica Italiana del Rinascimento, Faenza, 1999, pp. 138-141, nos. 67-69.
