We do not know who painted the picture, although it is likely they were working in Ferrara or Bologna. The painting is related in design to Raphael’s Donna Velata (Palazzo Pitti, Florence) and particularly to a painting by Giulio Romano which was derived from Raphael’s picture.
The frame dates from the seventeenth century and may be original to the painting – both have suffered from the same type of worm damage. The style of the frame is associated with the region of Emilia-Romagna, and particularly Bologna.
