Day 2407 #ArtKicksCovid19 "Profile Portrait of a Lady" (1490) Giovanni Ambrogio de Predis. Biblioteca Ambrosiana Milan. The delicate modelling of this elegant young woman’s face, elaborate hairstyle and richly decorated clothing reflect the refinement of the Milanese court in the late 15th century,
