I acquired this old print / poster from an estate, along with 27 vintage prints from the 1937 National Committee for Art Appreciation.  I found this online: Portrait of Tommaso Inghirami known as “Fedra” Raffaello Sanzio (Urbino 1483 - Rome 1520) and, from Wikipedia: The Portrait of Fedra Inghirami  is an oil  on panel  painting by Raffaello Sanzio  , dating back to approximately 1514  - 1516  . There are two versions of the work on which critics are divided in identifying the prototype. One in the Palatine Gallery  in Florence  (90x62 cm) and one in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum  in Boston  (89.7x62.2 cm).

Tommaso Inghirami  , known as "Fedra", depicted at his desk, was a learned humanist  born in Volterra  in 1470  , in the service of Pope Leo

The portrait of Boston comes from Casa Inghirami in Volterra, where it remained until the beginning of the twentieth century, before being purchased by its current location. The Florentine painting was instead part of the collection of Cardinal  Leopoldo de' Medici  , and after his death it became part of the picture gallery of Palazzo Pitti  ; from 1799  to 1815  he was in Paris  due to the Napoleonic plundering  [1]  .

Cavalcaselle  considered only the Pitti painting to be autograph, as did Passavant, Adolfo Venturi  and Pittaluga (who did not comment on the Boston painting), while Morelli, Durand-Gréville, Gamba and Suida opted for the Boston one. Both autographs for Gronau  , Marangoni, Carli, Francini Ciaranfi, Camesasca and Monti; neither, which would therefore derive from a lost prototype, according to Fischel. Gamba referred the work to Pitti to the hand of Daniele da Volterra  , Durand-Gréville considered only the face to be autograph (1907), later changing his mind (1911) and referring it to a subsequent period [1]  .

Accurate scientific tests seem to make the Florentine version prevail today, due to its better pictorial quality, psychological introspection and expressive power [2]  . The Boston work could therefore be a copy of the painting made for the family.
