Focus on this artwork and explain the Composition.
Art historians point out changing conventions of portraiture in Botticelli's painting: "earlier Florentine portraits were in profile. The woman's three-quarter pose, with her hand on the window frame, was Botticelli's own invention."   The portrait is thought to be the first example of a three-quarter pose in Florentine portrait painting. "By abandoning the profile pose traditionally used in depictions of Renaissance women, Botticelli brought a new sense of movement into the portrait."The painting helped art historians to identify the sheer overdress worn by the Mona Lisa, a "similar" guarnello.   The sitter also wears a cotta, a light summer gown.
