Abstract (en)

Identifies a portrait of a lady in a private collection in London as the original emblematic portrait of Maratti's wife Francesca Gommi that was mentioned in the 1711 inventory of her estate as hanging in the Casino d'Albano; dates it ca.1701; interprets the symbolism as "Love as a bulwark against the ravages of time; " and relates this picture to other portraits and self portraits.
