Bianca Degli Utili Maselli And Six Of Her Children - Lavinia Fontana Fine Art Postcard

The painting depicts a well-dressed Roman noblewoman, Bianca degli Utili Maselli, surrounded by six of her children. Bianca, the central figure, holds a small dog close. Her children, adorned in rich silks and lace, each clutch an object hinting at their personalities or futures. One holds a cup of figs, perhaps symbolizing sweetness. Another grasps a pen and inkwell, suggesting scholarly pursuits. The painting offers a glimpse into 17th century Roman fashion and provides a tender portrayal of a mother and her children.
