"Portrait of a Woman," also known as "La Donna Velata" (The Veiled Woman), is a celebrated painting by the Italian High Renaissance master Raphael. Created around 1516, this artwork is renowned for its exquisite depiction of a woman whose identity remains a subject of scholarly debate, although many speculate that she may be Margherita Luti, Raphael’s Roman lover. The painting is currently housed in the Palatine Gallery of the Palazzo Pitti in Florence, Italy.

The portrait is a quintessential example of Raphael's mastery in the portrayal of delicate and nuanced human expressions. The subject is depicted with a gentle gaze that suggests a serene yet enigmatic demeanor, her face framed by a luxurious dark veil and her attire adorned with a gauze shawl and a gold-trimmed garment, which indicate her noble status. The soft modeling of her face, the intricate textures of her clothing, and the subtle play of light and shadow exemplify Raphael's skillful use of oil as a medium.

"Portrait of a Woman" is often compared to Leonardo da Vinci’s "Mona Lisa" because of its similar composition and the mysterious quality of the subject’s expression. The painting not only underscores Raphael’s ability to convey psychological depth, but also showcases his expertise in utilizing sfumato—a technique that allows tones and colors to shade gradually into one another, producing softened outlines or hazy forms.

This portrait holds a significant place in art history, reflecting Raphael’s contributions to portraiture during the Renaissance and his ongoing influence on future generations of artists. Its allure continues to captivate art historians and enthusiasts alike, making it a pivotal piece in the study of Renaissance art.
