About the piece

Created around 1670 by the Italian Baroque master Giovanni Battista Gaulli, this portrait showcases exceptional detail in the sitter's intricate lace, fur-lined bodice, and luminous pearls. The soft illumination and direct, gentle gaze reflect the sophisticated painterly technique and refined atmosphere of the late Baroque period.
