"La Donna Velata" (The Woman with the Veil) is a celebrated portrait by the Italian Renaissance artist Raphael, also known as Raffaello Sanzio of Urbino. Painted circa 1516, this artwork is renowned for its exquisite depiction of a woman's beauty and the sophisticated use of a veil to enhance her enigmatic allure. The subject of the portrait is believed to be Margarita Luti, Raphael’s Roman lover, also known as La Fornarina, although this identification remains a topic of scholarly debate.

The painting is a masterful example of Raphael’s skill in capturing the texture of fabrics and the subtlety of human expression. The woman is portrayed with a gentle yet confident gaze, her head slightly tilted, adorned with a transparent gauze veil that partially covers her dark, flowing hair. Her attire, a luxurious garment with fur trim, suggests a status of nobility or high social standing. The use of chiaroscuro, the technique of using strong contrasts between light and dark, adds depth and volume to the composition, highlighting the three-dimensionality of the figure.

"La Donna Velata" is often compared to Leonardo da Vinci’s "Mona Lisa" because of its similar treatment of the sitter’s enigmatic expression and the refined portrayal of the textiles. The painting not only exemplifies Raphael’s portraiture skills but also serves as a significant representation of Renaissance ideals of beauty and femininity.

Currently, the painting is housed in the Palatine Gallery of the Palazzo Pitti in Florence, Italy. It continues to be a subject of admiration and study, reflecting Raphael’s enduring influence in the history of art.
