Portrait of Eleonora Gonzaga della Rovere

[2] Eleonora Gonzaga della Rovere is portrayed seated in a three-quarter length depiction, towards the left.

She wears a headdress with gold embroidery that recalls a fashion launched by Isabella d'Este, very popular among the Northern Italian noblewomen of the time.

[3] The background of the portrait is a gray wall, where a window opens, showing a distant green landscape.

Near the Duchess, under the window, there is a small table covered with a green cloth, on which are a sleeping spotted dog and a golden clock crowned by a statuette.

It could also simply be a status symbol: after all, since the Dukes of Urbino collected such artefacts and Titian himself once acted as an intermediary in the purchase of a watch made by a master watchmaker from Augsburg.
