Isabella Jagiellon is a 1556 oil by Lucas Cranach the Younger, a Northern Renaissance work, held at National Museum in Kraków.
The painting features a woman sitting at a green table, wearing a black dress with a white lace-trimmed headscarf and a matching white lace-trimmed collar. She is holding a dark object in her right hand. The woman's attire and the style of the painting suggest a formal portrait from the 16th century. The use of oil paint and the attention to detail in the subject's clothing and accessories are notable. To learn more about the artist's techniques and style, look up the work of Lucas Cranach the Younger.
Lucas Cranach the Younger (German: Lucas Cranach der Jüngere, IPA: ; 4 October 1515 – 25 January 1586) was a German Renaissance painter and portraitist, the son of Lucas Cranach the Elder and brother of Hans Cranach.
