"La Donna Velata" (also known as "La Velata" or "The Woman with the Veil") is a celebrated portrait by the Italian High Renaissance master Raphael, painted circa 1516. The painting is renowned for its exquisite depiction of a young woman, whose identity has been the subject of much speculation, though she is often thought to be Margarita Luti, Raphael's Roman mistress also known as "La Fornarina." The title of the work, which translates to "The Veiled Woman," refers to the delicate transparent veil draped around the subject's head, adding to the aura of mystery and allure that surrounds her.

The portrait is a testament to Raphael's mastery of form and color, showcasing his ability to capture the subtleties of the human complexion and the textures of fabrics. The sitter's gaze is both engaging and enigmatic, a characteristic that has drawn comparisons to Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa. "La Donna Velata" is often noted for the intricate rendering of the woman's attire, including the sumptuous fur-lined garment and the intricate patterns of her dress, which reflect the luxurious fashion of the period.

The painting is a prime example of Raphael's portraiture skills, demonstrating his psychological insight and his ability to convey the sitter's character and status. The work's provenance includes a history of ownership by prominent collectors, and it has been housed in various prestigious institutions. As of the knowledge cutoff date, "La Donna Velata" is part of the collection at the Palatine Gallery in the Palazzo Pitti, Florence, Italy, where it continues to be admired by art enthusiasts and scholars.

"La Donna Velata" remains an important work in the study of Renaissance portraiture, and its influence can be seen in the works of subsequent artists who sought to capture the essence of their subjects with a similar blend of realism and idealization. The painting is not only a highlight of Raphael's artistic career but also a significant cultural artifact that offers insight into the aesthetics and societal values of the Italian Renaissance.
