Artist, Italian, probably 1535 - 1612

The image shows a partial figure of a woman from the waist up. Her head is gently tilted to the left with closed eyes, and she wears a veil over her head and shoulders. She is dressed in a flowing garment with a circular brooch at her chest. Next to her is a cherubic figure with a youthful face, short curly hair, and small wings. The cherub is in a dynamic pose with one arm outstretched and the other bent towards its chest. The background is a plain textured surface.
