Description: | The unknown lady portrayed here, together with a child who is probably her son, is wearing the international fashion of about 1600. As with the fashion, the style of this picture can be described as an international portrait style of the period. The smile of the boy and the way he is holding the hand of his mother contrast with the stiffness of the dress and the pose in a curious way and make this a child portrait of rare liveliness in this period when fashion completely disguised any corporal expression. | Subjects: | figure; portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Italian (Central Italian) School Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Moroni, Giovanni Battista (Italian painter, ca.1525-1578) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8754... | Go to resource |
