Raffaello - Ritratto femminile, Niedersächsische Landesgalerie, Hannover

The woman is shown in a three-quarter pose, holding the edge of a dark, fur-lined mantle over a white pleated chemise. She wears a simple cross pendant on a thin cord and a patterned headpiece. Her calm gaze and the soft modeling of her features are characteristic of the High Renaissance style associated with Raphael's circle.

The artwork reflects the Neoplatonic ideal of 'divine beauty' as a mirror of inner virtue, a central tenet in the thought of Marsilio Ficino. The 'all’antica' headwrap specifically invokes the iconography of the Sibyls, ancient prophetesses whom Renaissance thinkers integrated into Christian history as pagan harbingers of the Logos.
