Product Details:

The Lady with the Ermine is a refined Renaissance portrait of Cecilia Gallerani, the young mistress of Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan. Shown in three-quarter view, Cecilia turns gracefully to her right, her calm, intelligent expression highlighting Leonardo’s mastery of subtle expression and naturalism. She cradles a white ermine, both a symbol of purity and a personal emblem of Ludovico, linking sitter and patron. The delicate modeling of light and shadow (sfumato) and the dynamic pose create a sense of life and immediacy, making this work not only a study of beauty but also an intimate portrayal of personality and courtly symbolism.
