| Portrait of Bia de' Medici (ca. 1542) by Agnolo Bronzino |
This is a
posthumous portrait of Bianca (Bia) De Medici, the illegitimate daughter of
Duke Cosimo I. Bia died of a fever in 1542 at the age of 6, and her grieving
father tasked Agnolo Bronzino to make a portrait of her based on her death mask
as a memento. She wears a gold chain with a medallion with her father's profile
on it, emphasizing her bond with her father.
