"the young woman portrayed here is virginia de' medici (1568-1615), daughter of grand duke cosimo i of tuscany.

Beside a pearl ensemble with a single-strand necklace of large pearls, matching earrings, and pearls woven into her hair, she wears a large collar with intricate gold segments decorated with pearls and gemstones. There are at least four versions of this portrait; one that is seemingly nearly identical in style to the walters' portrait was on the market in 2016 and attributed to the florentine painter giovanni maria butteri (1540-1606), who worked with alessandro allori. Butteri's best known portrait is a group portrait dated 1574 of several members of the medici family; the hard surfaces are very similar to those in the present painting. " [1].
