after Baccio Baldini

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a full-body depiction of a seated woman positioned slightly to the left, with her head turned to the right. She has delicate facial features, with a serene expression and eyes gazing downward. Her hair is styled elaborately, pulled back with braids and a bun, and adorned with ribbons. The woman is wearing an intricately patterned dress with long sleeves and a square neckline, emphasizing ornate detailing. Draped fabric and decorations swirl around her. She holds an open book with visible text in one hand. The background is plain. Above her, a ribbon banner displays the word "SIBILLA CVMANA" in an elegant script.
