## Commentary

The sitter of the portrait is possibly the Poet Maddalena Salvetti \(1557-1610\). She is depicted in a green dress and pearls, standing at a draped table, with a pet squirrel. It is likely that this portrait was commissioned to celebrate the marriage in 1572 of Maddalena Salvetti to Zanobi Acciaiolli \(1548-1613\), a commander in the Order of Saint Stephen. Previous attributions of the portrait have been made to Agnolo Bronzino and Maso da San Friano.
