Description: | This portrait of a young woman is executed very much in the style of Clouet, a successful sixteenth-century court painter. The present attribution was suggested by the late eminent art historian Federico Zerri. There is a strong likeness between the sitter in this work (including her embroidered dress with a narrow gauffered collar and a single string of pearls) and that in his Portrait of a Girl in the collection of Duke of Hamilton, of which this work is possibly a copy. The work also recalls Clouet's portrait of Mary Stuart (Czartoryski Collection, Paris). The costume and head dress is similar to that in Antonio Mor's Elizabeth de Valois, Queen of Spain of 1568. Clouet's remarkable talent in portraiture can also be seen in his drawings, of which there is a large collection in the Museum Condé at Chantilly. | Subjects: | figure; portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Clouet, François (French draftsman, painter, and portraitist, ca. 1516-1572) Æ Attributed to school of Previously attributed to manner of Zuccaro, Federico (Italian painter and draftsman, ca. 1541-1609) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8815... | Go to resource |
