About the piece

Associated with the circle of Paolo Veronese and Parrasio Micheli, this portrait is a stunning example of Venetian Renaissance art. The work highlights the era's fascination with material luxury, meticulously rendering the textures of the pearl necklaces, delicate lace collar, and the complex embroidery of the sitter's gown. Her steady gaze and dignified posture offer a timeless window into historical European nobility.
