About the piece
Painted around 1635 by the Neapolitan master Massimo Stanzione, this striking portrait depicts a woman in elaborate regional dress holding a speckled hen. The work is celebrated for its masterful rendering of varied textures—from the intricate lace and metallic threads of her bodice to the soft feathers of the bird and the luminous skin tones of the sitter, all set against a dark, dramatic background.
