Portrait of a Young Woman is a c.1518-1519 oil on panel painting by Raphael and Giulio Romano, now in the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Strasbourg, for which it was acquired by Wilhelm von Bode, who bought it in London in 1890.
It was previously recorded in London in the Acton collection.
[2] Traditionally attributed to the School of Raphael, the removal of 19th-century repainting and X-ray examination have shown that the hand, sleeves and chemise were later additions.
[3] The most widely accepted hypothesis is that Giulio Romano painted the head, neck and bust after a design by Raphael, and that Raphael then added the hand and the sleeves, and covered the young woman's cleavage.
The identity of the sitter remains unknown; although there is a typological likeness, she is not the same person as La Fornarina: her nose, for instance, has a different shape.
