ملف:Lucas Cranach d.Ä. - Bildnis einer jungen Frau (Galleria degli Uffizi).jpg

(b. 1472, Kronach, d. 1553, Weimar)

Portrait of a Young Woman c. 1530 Oil on wood, 42 x 49 cm Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence

This painting was executed by the workshop of Lucas Cranach. Cranach's productive workshop follows the master's example in presenting us with this bizarre and highly characterized portrait of a lady, achieved with a sinuous and undulating line. The punctilious attention to detail expressed in the tiny decorations of the dress, the tight curly hair and the effervescent hat tells us that this is a fine example of German artistic workmanship.
