Portrait of a Young Woman

A print after a painting by Sebastiano del Piombo (c.1512) now in the Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence (inv. 1890, n. 1443). Lettered with title, production details and traditional attribution to Raphael. With dedicatee's coat of arms and stamped with engraver's blind stamp at lower right (Lugt 3428). This impression lacks dedication and publication details. According to Passavant, this print is dated 1809. For an impression with full lettering, see RCIN 852048.

The painting has been formerly attributed to Giorgione and Raphael but scholars are now unanimous in seeing it as a work by Sebastiano del Piombo. The identity of the sitter, who has been previously identified as Margherita Luciani (known as La Fornarina), is still a matter of dispute. Photographs of the painting at RCINs 852045, 852046.
