Alongside Jacopo Pontormo and Rosso Fiorentino, Puligo was at the forefront of the Mannerist movement that came to define sixteenth-century art in Florence. Here Puligo depicts an unknown auburn haired sitter bust-length. Facing to the left and looking directly at the spectator, she wears a green turban-like headdress that complements her violet dress.
