This plaster cast is taken from a terracotta model for a marble portrait of the physician Apollonio Massa of 1572 by Alessandro Vittoria, formerly in the church of San Domenico di Castello in Venice. Although the sitter is represented in contemporary dress in the model, in the final version he is shown wearing classicizing drapery. Alessandro Vittoria was an architect, stuccoist, sculptor of bronzes, and renowned portrait sculptor in 16th-century Venice. The cast was made by Signor Tombola, a plaster-cast maker in Venice.
