Portrait of Bianca Ponzoni Anguissola

Portrait of Bianca Ponzoni Anguissola or Lady in White[1] is an oil-on canvas-painting created in 1557 by the Italian Renaissance painter Sofonisba Anguissola.

It is a portrait of the artist's mother.

[2][3] It is now in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin.

[4] It is securely identified as the artist's mother, since it reuses two elements from The Game of Chess, Lucia's pearl headdress and Minerva/Elena's necklace.

[5] Under the arm of the chair are the signature and date “Sophonisba Angussola Virgo F. 15.5.7.” This article about a sixteenth-century painting is a stub.
