in a magnificent saloon, in a red velvet dress, with sleeves of yellow silk and under-*sleeves of gauze, with her long hair confined by a red velvet cap ornamented with pearls and precious stones; in background, at left, a woman leans over a balustrade between two columns; in distance, a garden. Painted about 1518 for Cardinal da Bibbiena, who presented it to Francis I. when papal legate to France (1518-19). According to Vasari, the head only is by Raphael, the remainder by Giulio Romano.
