Dating from around 1490, Portrait of a Young Womanis included in this exhibition of 120 pieces from the Alte Pinakothek and other great collections from Florence, London, New York, Washington, Vienna and Berlin. In addition to Ghirlandaio, other artists present in this exhibition include Fra Angelico, Filippo and Filippino Lippi, Sandro Botticelli and Leonardo da Vinci.
