Catalogue Note
La tête légèrement tournée vers la droite et coiffée d'un diadème, vêtue d'une tunique, le portrait de femme est proche d'un buste en marbre de Junon de la collection du Marquis del Carpio au Musée du Prado (inv. 1857, n°24). Réalisé au milieu du XVIIe siècle en Italie, ce même buste figure sur un dessin de la Société des Antiquaires de Londres (voir ci-contre).
