Italian painter and draughtsman Naldini was the artistic heir of Jacopo Pontormo, with whom he trained from 1549 to 1556. While maintaining an allegiance to the ideals of Andrea del Sarto and Pontormo, he also worked in the vocabularies of Bronzino and Vasari. From these sources he forged an individual style of drawing indebted to del Sarto in its loose handling of chalk and reminiscent of Pontormo in its schematic figures defined by firm contours and modelled with loose hatching or spots of wash. Naldini had numerous patrons in Florence and elsewhere in Tuscany, but he worked largely for the Medici as one of the artists under Vasari's supervision. He was in Rome after Pontormo's death in 1557 but returned to Florence c. 1562 to assist Vasari in the decorations for the Palazzo Vecchio.
