Description
The portrait is painted in pastels, by Rosalba Carriera. Its year of completion is unknown, but its provenance can be traced back from the Galleria Lorenzelli in Bergamo where it is documented by a label on the back of the portrait and an approximate drawn up in Italian lire by the Sotheby's without a detailed year. The portrait appears in the inventory from Intesa Leasing and merged into Fondazione Cariplo's collection in 1999.[2]
The year of execution is approximately assumed during after the artist's trip to Paris in 1720. The woman wears a band of pearls around her arm with a precious blue stone, and holds a venetian moretta in her right hand, and a fine ribbon on her neck and a charming flower clumping her hair. Her pale dress indicates the influence of Classicism and allegorical representation of a pagan goddess. The portrait is currently in the collection of the Palazzo Melzi d'Eril, Milan.[3]
