## Commentary

The artist seems to have represented here a young girl from the Tuscan countryside and has ennobled her aspect by dressing her in a white mantle with traces of light blue, yellow-lined and edged with a gold ribbon. He made her face graceful by putting on her head a very light, impalpable white veil.
