Portrait of a Lady, dressed in a gold embroidered costume

Portrait of a Lady, dressed in a gold embroidered costume is a painting by the Italian baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi. It is assumed to have been painted in the early 1620s, just after Artemisia had moved to Rome.[1] It currently belongs in a private collection. The identity of the sitter is not confirmed, but strongly believed to be Caterina Savelli, “Principessa di Albano”.[2][3]
