# Portrait of a Woman, called "The Nun" [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [GHIRLANDAIO, Ridolfo]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Oil on wood, 65 x 48 cm ## Commentary Ferdinando III of Lorrain, Grand Duke of Tuscany, bought the picture in 1819 as a masterwork by Leonardo da Vinci, but the attribution has been soon after changed and it is still not certain: among the artists suggested there are Mariotto Albertinelli and Ridolfo del Ghirlandaio, besides Giuliano Bugiardini who is actually the author accepted. However, presently the painting is exhibited in the Uffizi Gallery under the name of Ridolfo Ghirlandaio. <P> <TABLE ALIGN=LEFT CELLPADDING=5 BORDER=1 WIDTH=320 BGCOLOR="\#99CCCC"> <TR VALIGN=MIDDLE><TD><IMG SRC="/support/gif/listen.gif" BORDER=0 VALIGN=MIDDLE> Suggested listening \(streaming mp3, 4 minutes\):<BR><A HREF="\#" onClick="w=window.open \('/music1/schubert/schubert\_d828\_nonne.html', 'newWin', 'scrollbars=yes,status=no,dependent=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=350,height=350'\);w.opener=this;w.focus\(\);return true"><B>Franz Schubert: Die Junge Nonne \(The Young Nun\) D 828</B></A> </TD></TR></TABLE> ## Related artworks - [Adoration of the Shepherds \(detail\)]() - [Adoration of the Shepherds \(detail\)]() - [Adoration of the Shepherds]() - [Annunciation]() - [Cappella dei Priori]() - [Holy Family with Sts Francis and Jerome]() - [Portrait of a Gentleman]() - [Portrait of a Man]() - [Portrait of a Woman]() - [Portrait of a Young Man]() - [Portrait of an Old Man]() - [Portrait of Christopher Columbus]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
