Profile Portrait of a Young Lady
Profile Portrait of a Young Lady is a 1465 half-length portrait, commonly attributed to Italian artist Antonio del Pollaiuolo and oil-based paint on a poplar panel. A minority of scholars attribute the portrait to another Italian artist, Piero della Francesca. Wilhelm von Bode attributed the painting to Domenico Veneziano, while others think of Alessio Baldovinetti. The emphatic use of line and the clarity of the contrasting colour surfaces are typical features of the Florentine School.
