An Unknown Young Woman, Alonso Sánchez Coello, between 1567 and 1570
"this portrait was cut from a slightly larger composition. The beautiful adolescent girl sports a travelling outfit, as indicated by the fur lining and partially visible muff. It has been suggested she may be identified as a lady of the court – such as ana de mendoza, princess of eboli – or one of philip ii’s daughters. The work has been attributed to sofonisba, though the style of execution is more reminiscent of sánchez coello and does not display her painstaking brushwork. "
