A Blonde Woman 1520

"A Blonde Woman" is a portrait painted by Palma Vecchio, an Italian Renaissance painter, around 1520. This oil painting portrays a woman, perhaps a noblewoman, in a white blouse with her breast exposed. The woman's hand gestures at her bodice, holding a small bouquet of flowers. The rich colors and soft lines of the painting are characteristic of the Venetian school of art, where Palma Vecchio was a prominent figure. The work is currently on display at the National Gallery in London.
