The marble bust of Rinaldo della Luna at the age of 27 was carved by Mino da Fiesole. It is signed and dated and the inscription shows Rinaldo's name as well (1461. RINALDO DELLA LVNA SVE·ETATIS·ANNO XXVII OPVS MINI·NE·MCCCCLXI). The Museum purchased the plaster cast in 1907. In 1946 the copy was transferred in the XII district of Budapest in a villa, were at the time a Free Art Academy was founded. The current whereabouts of the artwork are unknown.
