- This is one of a series of mixed media works that grew out of my fascination with the rennaisance portrait. I was struck by the tender expression and the quiet dignity of the girl. The name of the sitter is unknown - she is simply called 'portrait of a girl' painted by Piero del Pollainolo sometime between 1467 - 70. The original portrait painting hangs in the Museo Poldi Pezzoli in Milan.
