Portrait of a Lady was painted by the celebrated artist from Bologna in 1585. “A pioneer in her lifetime…the discovery and acquisition of this piece elevates VMFA’s collection of late Renaissance art,” says the institution's director, reflecting the drive to hang more works by women artists on their walls.
