Portrait of a lady 16th century

This 16th-century miniature portrait, attributed to Antonio Abondio, depicts a woman in profile, adorned with a pearl necklace and a jeweled headdress. The small scale and intimate style of the work are characteristic of miniature painting, a popular genre during the Renaissance. The painting, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases Abondio's skill in rendering delicate details and capturing the sitter's likeness with precision.
