Popis:
This unidentified noblewoman is dressed in the latest court fashions, complete with elaborate jewels and a delicate pocket watch at her waist. Such ornaments declare her privileged social status. Her fan likewise marks her as a lady, as does her gesture of lifting her skirts off the dirty pavement.
The courtyard behind her may be that of her palace, presumably in Ancona, Italy, since that is the city depicted behind her husband (in the companion piece, Walters 37.660). Private courtyards and gardens were important in women's lives, since the social restrictions on the accepted behavior of upper-class women limited their freedom to stroll in the public streets unless accompanied by their husbands.
