Description: | The sitter in this portrait was traditionally identified as the wife of the Duke of Lerma and first minister of Philip III of Spain, Francisco Gómez de Rojas Sandoval, although there is no documentary proof to support such identification. She is represented praying in front of a crucifix, wearing a court dress decorated with a ruff collar of Flemish lace. Her gesture reproduces the attitude of the figure of the Duchess of Lerma sculpted by Pompeo Leoni for the ducal tombs in Valladolid. | Subjects: | portrait (Duchess of Lerma(?)) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Pantoja de la Cruz, Juan (Spanish painter, 1554-1608) Æ Attributed to after Previously attributed to circle of Sánchez Coello, Alonso (Spanish painter, ca.1531-1588) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8984... | Go to resource |
