"Portrait of a Violinist" is a painting attributed to the Italian Renaissance artist Sebastiano del Piombo (c. 1485–1547). While the exact date of creation is not definitively known, it is believed to have been painted in the early 16th century, showcasing the artist's skill in portraiture and his ability to capture the character and profession of his subjects. Del Piombo was a notable figure of the High Renaissance, a contemporary of Michelangelo and Raphael, and his works are characterized by their rich color and dramatic use of light and shadow, influenced by his Venetian roots and his later Roman period.

The painting depicts a male musician holding a violin, an instrument that was gaining popularity during the Renaissance as violin-making evolved in Italy. The subject's identity is not confirmed, but he is portrayed with a sense of individuality and personal expression that suggests he may have been a known musician of the time. The violinist's intense gaze and the detailed rendering of his hands and the instrument itself reflect the artist's attention to psychological realism and technical precision.

"Portrait of a Violinist" is executed in oil on canvas, a medium that Sebastiano del Piombo was known to have adopted from Venetian traditions, allowing for a vibrant palette and a depth of texture. The work exemplifies the merging of Venetian colorism with the monumental forms of the Roman art scene, where del Piombo spent much of his career.

The provenance of the painting is not well-documented, and over the centuries, its attribution has been a subject of scholarly debate. Some experts have questioned whether the work is indeed by del Piombo or possibly by a talented follower or contemporary. Nonetheless, the painting is often studied within the context of del Piombo's oeuvre as an example of portraiture that bridges the stylistic gap between the Venetian and Roman schools of painting.

Today, "Portrait of a Violinist" is considered an important work for its potential insights into the cultural and artistic milieu of the Renaissance, particularly in the representation of musicians and the development of musical iconography. The painting's current location is not widely publicized, and it may reside in a private collection or an institution with restricted public access, contributing to its somewhat enigmatic status in art history.
