Saint Dorothy (painting)

Saint Dorothy (Italian; La Dorotea) or Young Roman Woman with a Fruit Basket is a circa 1512 oil on panel painting by Sebastiano del Piombo, now in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin.

[1] A basket is an attribute of saint Dorothy, hence its first title.

[2] It was painted during the artist's stay in Rome after he was summoned there in August 1511 to take part in Agostino Chigi's decoration of the Villa Farnesina.

Long misattributed to Raphael, its correct attribution was revived on 16 July 1835 by the art historian Gustav Friedrich Waagen,[3] the Gemäldegalerie's first curator.
