Description
Based on the The Lady with an Ermine painting. The Lady with an Ermine (Polish: Dama z gronostajem) is a portrait painting widely attributed to Italian Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci. Dated to c. 1489–1491 the work is painted in oils on walnut panel. The portrait's subject is Cecilia Gallerani, painted at a time when she was the mistress of Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan, and Leonardo was in the Duke's service. It is one of only four surviving portraits of women painted by Leonardo, the others being Ginevra de' Benci, and La Belle Ferronnière and the Mona Lisa.
The Princes Czartoryski Collection, including the Lady with an Ermine, was sold for €100 million on 29 December 2016 to the Polish government by Princes Czartoryski Foundation, represented by Adam Karol Czartoryski, the last direct descendant of Izabela Czartoryska Flemming and Adam George Czartoryski, who brought the painting to Poland from Italy in 1798. It is now housed at the Czartoryski Museum in Kraków, and is one of Poland's national treasures.
