1545 (ca.), Bacchiacca (Francesco d'Ubertino Verdi), Portrait of a Woman with a Book of Music -- Getty Museum (Los Angeles)
From the museum label: This woman's elegant dress was the height of fashion in Florence around 1540. The costume and music book indicate that she comes from a cultured, patrician family, perhaps the Frescobaldi, who once owned this painting. The ambiguous space, juxtaposition of dissonant colors, and polished, sculptural treatment of flesh are characteristic of Bacchiacca's portraits.
