Portrait of Alda Gambara
by MELONE, Altobello, Oil on panel, 60 x 50 cm
Formerly this portrait was attributed to Boltraffio, then to Bartolomeo Veneto. It is assumed that the represented woman is Alda Gambara, a poet, however, an alternative identification, namely a member of the Avogadro family, is also proposed. In the background the fortress of Brescia is depicted.
