Portrait of Isabella d'Este (Titian)
Painting by Titian
Portrait of Isabella d'Este is an oil on canvas painting of a young woman by Titian.
It can be dated to the 1530s and is held in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, in Vienna. The artist and the date are undisputed. Beyond the museum documentation, there are several doubts about the person depicted.

She stares slightly to the left. Personal features are light blond curls, the (rare) eye colour light grey, flat eyebrows and a snub nose — overall not representing the ideal of beauty. She wears a balzo (a fashion invention of Isabella d'Este (prototypes before 1509[2]), but widely popular in northern Italy in the 1530s).
Her clothes are dark; she wears green patterned sleeves, a gold shirt and a fur (probably lynx). The canvas has been trimmed on the left and right.
