Focus on this artwork and discuss the Description.
The subject is a young woman with brown hair and eyes, portrayed as a half-figure.  She wears a white silk dress or bodice striped with gold.  Her over-dress of indigo  blue satin has large puffed sleeves and is worn low around the shoulders, revealing the bodice.  She also wears a soft embroidered apron on her belly of a type also represented in the painting Antea by the same artist.  On the head she wears a doughnut-shaped headdress sewn with gilt thread and decorated by a medallion portraying Pegasus, perhaps a metaphor of love or a heraldic reference to the Cavalli family. This style of headwear was fashionable for women of the time, invented for Isabella d'Este and featured in numerous female portraits from the Lombard and Padan  area in the early 16th century.On the hand, whose slender fingers are typical of Parmigianino art, she wears a small ring, perhaps a reference to a recent marriage. She holds a plume used to fan herself, depicted with highly detailed brushstrokes.The proposed identifications of the woman include Giulia Gonzaga at the time of her marriage to Vespasiano Gonzaga and Veronica Gambara.
