"Portrait of a Woman," commonly known as "La Muta," is an exquisite oil painting by the renowned Italian Renaissance artist Raffaello Sanzio, better known as Raphael. Created around 1507, this artwork is a testament to Raphael's mastery in portraiture and his ability to capture the subtle nuances of human expression and character. The painting is housed in the Galleria Nazionale delle Marche in Urbino, Italy, and is celebrated for its refined elegance and psychological depth.

"La Muta" depicts a young woman, whose identity remains a subject of scholarly debate. The title, which translates to "The Silent One," alludes to the woman's enigmatic expression and the contemplative silence that seems to envelop her. She is portrayed with a serene and composed demeanor, her gaze directed slightly to the side, avoiding direct eye contact with the viewer. This subtlety in her expression has intrigued art historians and viewers alike, inviting various interpretations about her thoughts and emotions.

Raphael's technical prowess is evident in the meticulous rendering of the woman's features, the delicate play of light and shadow on her face, and the intricate detailing of her attire. The use of chiaroscuro enhances the three-dimensionality of the figure, while the soft, almost ethereal quality of the painting reflects Raphael's influence from his contemporaries, such as Leonardo da Vinci. The background is kept relatively simple, ensuring that the viewer's focus remains on the subject's face and expression.

The painting's composition and the sitter's attire suggest that she may have been a member of the Italian nobility, although her exact identity remains speculative. Some theories propose that she could be a member of the prominent Sforza family or even a close acquaintance of the artist. Despite the uncertainty surrounding her identity, "La Muta" remains a significant work in Raphael's oeuvre, exemplifying his skill in capturing the human soul with grace and sensitivity.
