About the piece
Painted in 1739 by Ludovico Mazzanti, this portrait captures the renowned singer Faustina Bordoni with a dignified yet soft presence. She is depicted in a rich blue dress accented by delicate lace trim and a cluster of roses at her bodice, set against a dark, atmospheric background characteristic of Late Baroque portraiture.
