Prima donna del mondo, princess graced with exceptional qualities, Isabella d’Este, marquise of Mantua, is an almost legendary figure. She asked the most eminent contemporary artist, Leonardo da Vinci, to make her portrait. This study aims to assess the drawing’s place in the artist’s oeuvre, which had achieved one of the finest examples of portraiture at the time.
