Lucrezia Borgia, Duchess of Ferrara is a 1518 oil by Dosso Dossi, held at National Gallery of Victoria.
The painting depicts a woman with reddish-brown hair pulled back, wearing a black jacket with a white collar and cuffs. She holds a gold ring in her right hand and wears a silver necklace. A white piece of paper with illegible text lies on a wooden table in front of her. The background features a tree with green leaves and white flowers on the left, and a blue-green landscape on the right. The woman's attire and the tree with white flowers suggest a sense of elegance and refinement. The painting's use of oil paint and the artist's attention to detail are evident in the intricate folds of the woman's clothing and the texture of the tree's leaves.
