Constanza Alidosi was a Bolognese noblewoman who in 1571 married Ridolfo Isolani, a distinguished nobleman, senator, and associate of the Medici. She is represented seated in elegant costuming and holding in her lap a small dog signifying her fidelity to her husband. On the table beside her a still-life of a vase of flowers and jewelry are depicted. Through the upper-left window an inner courtyard vista is shown.
