Portrait of a Woman. Artist: Italian (Florentine) Painter (mid-16th century). Dimensions: 38 1/2 x 30 in. (97.8 x 76.2 cm).
This elegant woman is depicted in an austere architectural setting typical of Florence in the mid-sixteenth century. Michele Tosini (1503-1577), who was active there during the decades when Bronzino was at his most influential, may have painted her. Tosini was also engaged in painting members of the court of Duke Cosimo I de' Medici.
