Portrait of Bianca Maria Sforza (1425-1468) is a 1460 tempera by Bonifacio Bembo, a Early Renaissance work, held at Pinacoteca di Brera.
This portrait shows a woman in profile, facing left. She wears a red and gold patterned dress with a high neckline and long sleeves. Her hair is covered by a white headpiece with a diamond pattern and a long tail hanging down her back. The woman's face is pale, with a small nose and mouth. Her eyes are cast downward, giving her an introspective look. The background of the painting is dark, which helps the woman's features stand out. The level of detail in this painting suggests that it was created using a precise technique. If you're interested in learning more about this style, look up the technique of tempera.
