Portrait of a Young Woman in Profile
around 1520/25 | Jacopo Negretti, gen. Palma il Vecchio
Palma was famous for his depictions of beautiful women presented in different ways and in various roles. The artist goes so far in his idealisation of fashionable female beauty that some of the protagonists in his pictures, whether sacred or secular, resemble sisters – the young woman who turns her face to us over her shoulder can be found again in full-length as a saint in Palma’s “Mary with Child and Saints” (Inv.-Nr. GG 60).
