Italian (Florentine) Painter (possibly Jacopo Zucchi, Florence 1541–1590 Rome) | Portrait of a Woman | The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The sitter, a young woman, is shown seated in an ivory-inlaid folding chair (also known as a Savonarola or Dante chair). She wears a sottana (petticoat) with detachable sleeves—formerly an undergarment that became popular as an outer dress in the 1550s and ‘60s (see Orsi Landini and Niccoli 2005)
