Magdalena Strozzi's portrait in Pushkin museum (2016) by shakko 01

The subject is shown in a three-quarter view, seated before a wide, low-horizon landscape that emphasizes her presence. She wears a heavy silk gown with blue sleeves and a fine chemise, accented by a distinctive gold pendant featuring a unicorn. Her posture and the composition reflect the influence of Leonardo da Vinci's contemporary portraiture.

While a secular marriage portrait, it embodies the High Renaissance Neoplatonic ideal where physical beauty was seen as a reflection of moral and spiritual harmony. The unicorn on her jewelry specifically connects to the medieval and Renaissance bestiary tradition, symbolizing chastity and the ability to tame wild nature.
