Portrait of a Young Woman

Italienische Malerei 1515–1530, 1530/1540

This painting depicts a woman with fair skin and orange-brown hair under a black net, wearing a green dress with puffed sleeves and sheer details around the wide neckline. Her body is slightly angled to the left, and her eyes are pointed slightly below us. She also wears a thin gold chain around her neck and a smaller black bead necklace, with a red flower behind her left ear that hangs downward. She has a straight nose, arched brown eyebrows, rosy cheeks, and pink lips in a neutral expression. A small, fluffy gray dog appears to sit in her lap, and the background is dark, with a few vertical gray lines.
