A Lady

Circle of Andrea del Verrocchio

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a bust of a woman, focusing on her head and shoulders. She has a high forehead with slightly curling hair pulled back under a smooth cap. Her face includes thin eyebrows, a long nose, a slightly cleft chin, and lips set in a neutral expression. Her eyes are blank, without a visible pupil or iris. Her clothing appears to be an intricately detailed dress, featuring floral patterns and slightly puffed sleeves. The sculpture is carved from a smooth, light-colored material.
