631. PORTRAIT OF A LADY.

_Ascribed to Francesco Bissolo_ (Venetian: painted 1500-1528).

By one of Bellini's pupils and imitators. Observe the rich dress of a

Byzantine stuff embroidered with strange animals, such as one sees in

the old mosaics at Venice. The lady wears too a long gold chain, as the

Venetian women do to this day.
