| | | | This painting is one of the first portraits known as a 'portrait from life'. The person portrayed is not posing, but is caught in a moment of ignorance, a section from the real life. This portrait probably represents the mistress of Ludovico il Moro, Cecilia Gallerani with an ermine (nick name of Ludovico il Moro). |
