Portrait of a Woman with a Book of Music, about 1540-1545. Additional Info: This unidentified woman wears an elegant, colourful dress of a type that was the height of Florentine fashion around 1540. Her costume and music book indicate her cultured, patrician background; she may have been a member of the Frescobaldi, a powerful Florentine banking family that once owned the painting.
