Uyg‘onish davri rassomi − florensiyalik Sandro Bottichelli tomonidan “Medalyonli yigit” surati Sotheby’s kimoshdi savdosida 92,2 million dollarga sotildi, deb yozadi Meduza.

Xaridorning shaxsi oshkor qilinmagan. Portret taxminan 1480-yilda chizilgan. Unda kim tasvirlangani ham noma’lum. Ma’lumotlarga ko‘ra, bu Florensiyaning qudratli Medichi oilasi vakili, deb taxmin qilinadi. XVIII asrdan buyon surat Buyuk Britaniyaning Nyuboro baronlari oilasida saqlanib kelinayotgan edi. 1982-yilda uni kimoshdi savdosida 1,3 million dollar evaziga avvalgi egasi – amerikalik tadbirkor Sheldon Solou sotib olgan.
