"the focus of this portrait of a woman is less on the individuality of the person portrayed than on her splendid clothing and precious jewelry: over a patterned brocade dress, the sitter, whose name is unknown, wears an outer garment made of pink damask. Particularly striking is the golden headpiece that adorns the sable fur on her belt. Her hairstyle, with hair shaved on her forehead, also corresponds to current fashion in venice in the late 16th century. The painting came from venice in 1852 with the barbini-breganze collection to the "museum of fine arts", founded in 1843, the forerunner of the stuttgart state gallery. At the time, the portrait was considered to be a work by the famous venetian painter paolo veronese; today it is attributed to parrasio micheli, who also worked in the lagoon city and deliberately based his imagery on veronese.
