Louise of Savoy, Countess of Angoulême (1476–ca. 1531)
Louise de Savoie (1476–1531), portrayed here in her late twenties, wears a broad, crisp veil that accentuates her youthful profile. A pendant by the same artist showing her son, François, as a child (obverse) and his device, a salamander (reverse), is also in the Museum's collection (48.90.5).
