 * Comment Since there's no source cited, presumably you've redated it to c. 1514 based on the subject's estimated age, but there's no reason to suspect that the curators at the Kunsthistorisches Museum picked c. 1520 at random. Yomangani talk 10:29, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
 * RE:Comment Well, the site I got it from, which I trust totally, gave his estimated age as 10 or 12, which would give the years 1513 and 1515, so the picture should be dated to c. 1514. Also, in 1520, he would have been 17 years old. And he did leave Spain before he was 13, he was, at most, 12 years old when this picture was painted, he was most probably in Spain.

 * The Kunsthistorisches Museum also gives his age as ten to twelve, but puts a c. 1520 date on the painting . There is no further information on the date attribution on their site, but since it is also attributed to a southern German anonymous artist, presumably they believe that it was completed at a later date. I don't think you can assign the painting a new date purely on the basis of the estimated age of the sitter. (I removed the "in Spain" from the caption as it is conjecture and isn't really necessary.) Yomangani talk 17:36, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree with Yomangani; the date should be taken from reliable sources. Most likely this is a copy of another painting, so it wouldn't necessarily be up-to-date at the time it was painted.  Chick Bowen 17:44, 22 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Support good quality image, good EV. Pinetalk 09:51, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Question What happened to the margin on the right? There's a margin of uniform paint on every side except the right - it gives the impression of being cut off. What's the story there? Papa Lima Whiskey 2 (talk) 09:58, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Answer There is no story. That's just how the picture is. It's not cut off, check both sources on the info page. Even the Kunsthistorisches Museum has this version. Alexcoldcasefan (talk) 17:36, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
