This painting relates closely to another Portrait of Louis XII in the Royal Collection (RCIN 403431). That portrait, first ascribed to Jean Perréal in 1947,υ1 is now considered to be from the workshop of Perréal. Another version was published by M. J. Friedländer as by the Master of the Legend of the Magdalene.υ2 1. See J. Dupont, op.cit., pp.235-239 passim.
