Woman with a Veil 1512 - 1515

Raphael's "Woman with a Veil" (1512-1515) is a portrait of a young woman in a flowing white veil, highlighting the Renaissance painter's mastery of soft, delicate brushstrokes. Her gaze is directed slightly down, creating a sense of introspective calm. The veil drapes gracefully around her head and shoulders, while her elaborately patterned dress suggests her social standing. The painting is a testament to Raphael's ability to capture the essence of both beauty and grace.
