Profile Portrait of a Young Lady
is a 1465 half-length portrait in oil on poplar, commonly attributed to Italian artist
Antonio del Pollaiuolo
. A minority of scholars attribute the portrait to another Italian artist,
Piero della Francesca
.
Wilhelm von Bode
attributed the painting to
Domenico Veneziano
; it has also been alternatively attributed to
Alesso Baldovinetti
. The emphatic use of line and the clarity of the contrasting colour surfaces in the work are typical features of the
Florentine School
. The anonymous woman is depicted in a
brocade
dress, with her posture suggesting that she is sitting in the marble
embrasure
of a window or balcony. The painting is now in the collection of the
Gemäldegalerie, Berlin
.
