Female Bust, Ideal Portrait of Laura (?)
ca. 1490 (?) | Francesco Laurana
Francesco Laurana created a number of female busts whose strict stylization has exerted a puzzling attraction until today. Only on the Vienna bust are traces of the original polychromy preserved. Due to the great similarity of the bust with a surviving depiction of Laura, the legendary love of the famous scholar and poet Petrarch, it is possible that this is her likeness.
