The Story Behind the Painting

Cecilia Gallerani was a young noblewoman in the court of Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan, and Leonardo's patron. Renowned for her beauty and intellect, Cecilia was also the Duke’s mistress. Leonardo’s portrait of her is celebrated for its realism, elegance, and the innovative inclusion of an ermine, a symbol of purity, moderation, and Cecilia’s connection to the Duke.

In the painting, Cecilia’s gaze is turned to the side, suggesting a moment of thoughtfulness or attention. The ermine, painted with incredible detail, rests gracefully in her arms, creating a sense of harmony between the subject and the symbolic animal.
