Portrait of a Young Woman is a painting which is commonly believed to be by the Italian Renaissance painter
Sandro Botticelli, executed
between 1480 and 1485.
Others attribute authorship to Jacopo da Sellaio. The woman is shown in
profile but with her bust turned in three-quarter view to reveal a
cameo medallion she is wearing round her neck. The medallion is a copy
in reverse of "Nero's Seal", a famous antique carnelian representing
Apollo and Marsyas, which belonged to Lorenzo de' Medici.
