Lady with an Ermine by Leonardo da Vinci Panel #16410
Leonardo da Vinci’s Lady with an Ermine (1489–1490) portrays Cecilia Gallerani, a Renaissance noblewoman, holding a white ermine. The detailed rendering of textures, lifelike expression, and refined use of light exemplify da Vinci’s mastery of portraiture. This painting is a prime example of High Renaissance elegance.
