Yeah, that's a dude. I think he even has some five-o'clock shadow. I wonder if there's facial-recognition software that could verify our impressions.
Whenever I see, e.g., a Renaissance painting that is a mannish-looking woman, I just assume that the artist was crappily and two-dimensionally rendering the human form. But this is beautifully rendered, down to the little pink bows; so how could it be anything other than intentional that it is so dudeiform?
If it were an elderly woman, maybe...but she's like mid-30's at the time, right?
