About this artwork

In "Ginevra Bentivoglio," painted between 1474 and 1477 by Ercole de' Roberti, the artwork captures a woman depicted from the waist up in a vertical portrait format. She is shown in profile, facing to the left, with pale skin and an expression that gazes into the distance. Dressed in a rust-brown gown adorned with yellow panels set with pearls, rubies, and sapphires, Ginevra's attire is elegant. Her sleeves feature intricate pleats, while a wide scarlet belt accented with pearls cinches her waist. Her hair is styled back under a translucent white veil, which cascades in folds. The background is dominated by a marine-blue cloth, with a glimpse of a landscape showcasing a town with coral-red walls and distant blue mountains.
