Verified profile

The portrait is one of the highest examples of Roman sculpture of the mid-seventeenth century. Of extraordinary physiognomic rendering, the face shows the imposing cheekbones and the resolute chin of the powerful noblewoman, while the apex of formal virtuosity is reached in the rendering of the thin widow's veil that swells with air behind the head.
