"Portrait of Bia" is a renowned painting by the Italian Mannerist artist Agnolo Bronzino, created around 1542. The subject of the portrait is Bia de' Medici, the illegitimate daughter of Cosimo I de' Medici, Duke of Florence, and his mistress, a woman of unknown identity. Bia, whose full name was Bianca, died at a young age, and this portrait is believed to have been painted posthumously, serving as a commemorative piece.

The painting is a striking example of Bronzino's skill in capturing both the physical likeness and the character of his sitters. It is executed with the meticulous attention to detail and the polished finish that are characteristic of Bronzino's work. The young girl is depicted with an ethereal beauty, dressed in lavish clothing that reflects her noble status. Her attire typically includes a dress with gold brocade and a delicate ruff collar, emphasizing the wealth and power of the Medici family.

Measuring 59 cm by 45 cm, the portrait is a half-length depiction of Bia, who is shown with a solemn expression, gazing directly at the viewer. The background is dark, which serves to highlight the figure of the young girl and the fine textures of her clothing and jewelry. The use of chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark, is masterfully employed to model the young girl's face and to give depth to the composition.

"Portrait of Bia" is considered an important work in Bronzino's oeuvre and in the broader context of 16th-century Italian portraiture. It is housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, where it remains a testament to the artist's technical prowess and the Medici family's patronage of the arts. The painting is not only a poignant reminder of a young life lost but also an exquisite example of the Mannerist style, which was characterized by elegance, sophistication, and an emphasis on artifice over naturalism.
