Description
Description
About the painting. Lady with an Ermine is a portrait by Leonardo da Vinci depicting Cecilia Gallerani, the young mistress of Ludovico Sforza, holding a white ermine with a directness and psychological presence that represented a significant departure from conventional Renaissance portraiture. Painted c. 1489 to 1490. Oil on walnut panel. Original in Czartoryski Museum, Krakow, Poland. Read the full story in our guide to Lady with an Ermine.
Painted in Milan around 1490, Lady with an Ermine portrays Cecilia Gallerani, a cultured young woman at the court of Ludovico Sforza. Leonardo da Vinci gives the sitter an unusual sense of movement: her body turns in one direction while her attentive gaze shifts beyond the picture.
The ermine is both a courtly symbol and a visual companion to Cecilia. Its alert pose echoes hers, while the animal’s Greek name has often been connected to a wordplay on Gallerani’s surname. Leonardo’s controlled chiaroscuro models the figure against the dark ground and draws attention to the elegant hands, face, and richly detailed dress.
This hand-painted oil reproduction is made to retain the portrait’s graceful three-quarter pose, quiet psychological tension, refined contours, and luminous modeling. The original is held by the National Museum in Krakow.
