This portrait, painted by Agnolo Bronzino between 1542 and 1545, depicts Bia di Cosimo de‘ Medici, a young noblewoman. Known for his refined style, Bronzino captures Bia's youthful innocence with meticulous detail. The composition, featuring Bia seated against a plain blue backdrop, emphasizes her delicate features and opulent attire. The light plays across her pale skin, highlighting the intricate details of her pearl necklace and golden jewelry. This work exemplifies the Mannerist style prevalent in 16th-century Florence, known for its emphasis on artificiality and idealized beauty.
