Painting. Version of Raphael painting

I have recently acquired the painting I have posted a few pictures of. It’s. A painting of
Bindo Altoviti.

I think it’s a really interesting painting. It’s a painting of a Renaissance banker who Raphael painted on a number of occasions. He was called the beautiful banker. He was a patron of the arts. I’ve never seen this painting though. It’s not a copy of a Raphael.

What do people think?

I wondered how old you thought it was Any info appreciated
