Donna Gravida, Raphael (?), Palazzo Pitti, Florence.
DONNA VELATA (Veiled Lady), Raphael
(?), attributed to Unknown, Palazzo Pitti,
Florence; canvas, H. 2 ft. 8 in. × 2 ft. A
beautiful woman, half-length, seated, seen
three-quarters face, turned to left; hair parted
and put back behind ears, and head
partly covered with a veil, which falls gracefully
on each side, enveloping right arm;
necklace of black stones; dress, a white
plaited chemise, a low bodice trimmed with
gold, with white damask sleeve. Supposed
portrait of Raphael's mistress, Margherita;
bears some resemblance to Madonna di San
Sisto and to Fornarina in Palazzo Barberini.
Passavant, Münder, Springer, Ruland, and
others, consider this a genuine Raphael;
Gruyer, Burckhardt, and Bode think it a
Bolognese picture, perhaps after an original
by Raphael. Brought to Pitti in 1824 from
Villa of Poggio Reale. Engraved by L.
Grüner; D. Chiossone; W. Hollar, in reverse,
from a copy.—Vasari, ed. Mil., iv. 355; Müntz,
