About the piece

Attributed to the circle of Alessandro Allori, this circa 1600 oil portrait captures the dignified poise of a noblewoman. The work is notable for its incredible precision in depicting late-Renaissance fashion, particularly the translucent lace ruff and the gold-threaded patterns of her gown, set against a muted, atmospheric background.
