The identity of the woman could be Fioretta Gorini, spouse of Giuliano de' Medici,[6] Lucrezia Donati, platonic love of Lorenzo il Magnifico,[7] or the portrait of Ginevra d'Amerigo Benci,[8] of Leonardo.[1][3][5]

Dama col mazzolino had influences on Studio di mani, of Leonardo da Vinci.[9] It stand out for having the hands on the chest.[10][11]
