Focus on this artwork and explain the Description.
Depicted is a young woman as a half figure in a chair with an armrest against a dark background. She stares slightly to the left. Personal features are light blond curls, the (rare) eye colour light grey, flat eyebrows and a snub nose — overall not representing the ideal of beauty. On her head she wears a balzo (a fashion invention of Isabella d'Este (prototypes before 1509), but widely popular in northern Italy in the 1530s). Her clothes are dark, the sleeves green with patterns, a gold decorated shirt and a fur (probably lynx). The canvas is reputed to be trimmed on the left and right.
