Portrait of Bianca Ponzoni Anguissola (1557) by Sofonisba Anguissola

Portrait of Bianca Ponzoni Anguissola or Lady in White[1] is an oil-on canvas-painting created in 1557 by the Italian Renaissance painter Sofonisba Anguissola. It is a portrait of the artist's mother.[2][3] It is now in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin.[4] It is securely identified as the artist's mother, since it reuses two elements from The Game of Chess, Lucia's pearl headdress and Minerva/Elena's necklace[5] Under the arm of the chair are the signature and date “Sophonisba Angussola Virgo F. 15.5.7.”
