| Description |  |
This notably Leonardesque portrait was probably painted by Ambrogio de Predis during the period of his collaboration with Leonardo da Vinci on the Milanese altarpiece which was to incorporate 'The Virgin of the Rocks' (hanging nearby). The Moor's head and the letters 'L' and 'O' on the sitter's belt buckle may allude to Lodovico il Moro, Duke of Milan, perhaps identifying this lady as his mistress.
