Portrait of Agnolo Doni is a small oil painting on wood. It was made by the Italian artist Raphael around 1506, early in his career. The work shows the sitter in a calm pose, typical of the period. The painting is an example of Raphael’s early Renaissance style. It was created with oil paint, giving it a smooth surface and fine detail. The portrait has been in the same place for centuries.
