Pages often came from high-standing families, so the presence of a Black page poses questions about his status and origins that cannot be answered until the the sitter is identified. People of African origin or descent were present in Venice and in the courts of northern Italy, but this is one of the earliest depictions of a Black servant in aristocratic male portraiture..
