Portrait of Piero (I) de’ Medici depicts Piero de’ Medici, nicknamed ’the Gouty’, father of Lorenzo the Magnificent and unofficial ruler of Florence from 1464 to 1469. A Latin inscription on the bust records that he was portrayed at the age of 37. The diamond rings on the borders of his tunic are a Medici device symbolising strength and fidelity. The bust may originally have stood in the Medici Palace in Florence, as a bust of Piero is recorded in the 1492 inventory.
