English: Caption from the museum's website: "This portrait was once believed to be of the infamous noblewoman Lucrezia Borgia, but it does not look like other portraits of her. The enamel and gold coronet of leaves and berries the lady wears around her head suggests she may be of high rank, although we do not know who she is."
Italiano: Ritratto di donna (presunto ritratto di Lucrezia Borgia): «I lineamenti, il collo delicato e carnoso, l'ovale pieno, fra poco aggravato, il mento appena sfuggente, l’occhio celeste misto di grigio, il biondo dei capelli che nelle ciocche pendule presso le tempie diventa luminoso, coincidono con le descrizioni dei contemporanei e con gli altri ritratti di Lucrezia, la medaglia dell’Amorino bendato, le figure di Nimes e di Como, persino con la Santa Caterina del Pinturicchio negli appartamenti Borgia in Vaticano. Suo è quello sguardo lungo, attento a raffronti segreti, che sfiora le cose e ad esse si rifiuta, sua quell'aria straniata e straniera di chi consente per sola saggezza alla propria presenza, sua la grazia dell'atteggiamento, e, pur nel viso maturo e segreto, quella diffusa levità di giovinezza interiore che a momenti le crea nel volto serio qualche cosa che somiglia ad un sorriso.» (Maria Bellonci, Lucrezia Borgia, Milano, 2003)
