Portrait of a Woman

Fresco
Villa Barbaro, Maser

In the Sala dell'Olimpo, Veronese configured the lower part of the vault as a loggia, and standing the balustrade of this loggia are various figures dressed in contemporary clothing. The simply dressed older woman next to Giustiniana Giustiniani is the wet nurse of Giustiniana's children.
