Description

The young woman is obliged with great elegance; a marten skin descends on the right shoulder leaning on the gloved hand; an apron, an ornament in use among the northern nobility, is draped over the heavy silk dress. The careful hairstyle, softened by a precious pearl clasp, leaves the perfect oval of the face uncovered. The work, one of the greatest masterpieces of Italian Mannerism, is certainly one of the finest examples of a female figure of the sixteenth century and represents one of the highest points of the brilliant experiments on optical deformations, characteristic of the artist's activity. Intrigued by the rendering of bodies reflected on curved surfaces and by the infinite representative possibilities of painting, the icy and intellectual Parmigianino creates a figure that is only apparently still but which, as suggested by the deformed rendering of the sleeve in the foreground and the movement, barely mentioned, of the leg left, is in the act of turning around. Even in the green background it participates in this game of optical effects, because a source of light, at the bottom right, is about to be revealed precisely by the rotating movement in progress. The precious painting is not documented and the dating varies between the artist's Roman years and the Thirties, which mark the return to Parma and a more accentuated reflection on the figures, symbolically deformed, such as the famous long-necked Madonna, now in the Uffizi .
