FROM THE BARNES FOUNDATION’S CATALOG
Though long attributed to Veronese, this portrait was more likely painted by Parrasio Micheli, another Venetian Renaissance artist who is known to have collaborated with Veronese. The sitter's sumptuous dress suggests that she is a noblewoman; however, by the mid-16th century, tradesmen and artisans were also commissioning portraits of themselves. A more reliable signifier of her status is the large size of the canvas.
