LORENZO DI CREDI (LORENZO D'ANDREA D'ODERIGO). Portrait of a Young Woman

Portrait of a Young Woman. Artist: Lorenzo di Credi (Lorenzo d'Andrea d'Oderigo) (Italian, Florence 1456/59-1536 Florence). Dimensions: 23 1/8 x 15 3/4 in. (58.7 x 40 cm). Date: ca. 1490-1500. This damaged but evocative portrait has been identified as the widow of Credi's brother, who was a goldsmith. This would explain why she is dressed in black and holds a ring. The juniper bush (<i>ginepro</i>) behind her could refer to her name, Ginevra di Giovanni di Niccolò. The picture was inspired by Leonardo's portrait of Ginevra de' Benci in the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
