Original – a Simonetta Vespucci, a picture painted after her death, with the help of a medal representing her from profile
Reason
It is a well known symbolic painting Piero di Cosimo. According to art historian Norbert Schneider's book The Art of the Portrait, 2002, capter: Piero di Cosimo:Sinonetta Vespucci: Her contemporaries would not have been offended by her naked breasts. As in Titian's Venus at her Mirror, this motif may be seen as an allusion to the "Venus pudica"[1], or "chaste" Venus.
