Portrait of a Lady in Yellow (with frame)

In the Quattrocento, painted portraits were usually placed in the “camere,” the chambers that were the multipurpose rooms at the heart of household life. The portrait of a woman, attributed to Alesso Baldovinetti, retains its original gold frame, and the inventory of the Tornabuoni palace list that of Giovanna degli Albizzi Tornabuoni as in a gilt frame.
