"Portrait of Ginevra de' Benci" is a seminal artwork by the Italian Renaissance master Leonardo da Vinci, believed to have been painted between 1474 and 1478. This portrait is notable for being Leonardo's only painting currently held in the Americas, specifically in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The painting is a depiction of Ginevra de' Benci, a young woman from a wealthy family in Florence, and it is celebrated for its sophisticated portrayal of the sitter's character and the innovative use of atmospheric perspective.

The artwork is executed in oil on a wooden panel, a medium that was becoming increasingly popular in Italy during Leonardo's time, allowing for a level of detail and luminosity not achievable in fresco or tempera. Measuring 38.8 cm by 36.7 cm, the painting presents Ginevra in a three-quarter view, an unusual choice at the time that adds a dynamic quality to the composition. Her gaze, slightly averted from the viewer, and the reserved expression on her face, have been subjects of extensive analysis and interpretation, reflecting Leonardo's lifelong interest in the complexities of human emotion and psychology.

The reverse side of the panel features a juniper bush, an emblematic detail that serves as a pun on Ginevra's name (ginepro being Italian for juniper), symbolizing chastity and virtue. This, combined with the Latin inscription "Virtutem Forma Decorat" (beauty adorns virtue), suggests the painting was not only a portrait but also a tribute to the subject's moral character.

"Portrait of Ginevra de' Benci" is a pivotal work in Leonardo's oeuvre, showcasing his mastery of naturalistic portrait painting, his innovative use of oil paint, and his philosophical engagement with the nature of beauty and virtue. The painting's historical significance, technical brilliance, and the mystery surrounding its subject have made it an enduring subject of scholarly interest and public fascination.
