We do not know who she was, but she was presumably a member of the Sforza court in Milan in the last years of the fifteenth century. The artist was the court painter there, and her dress was in fashion in the 1490s. On her belt are the letters LO and an image of the head of a Moor, or black African, in profile – possibly an allusion to Ludovico el Moro, Duke of Milan, although it was not one of his usual emblems.
