The identity of the woman could be Fioretta Gorini, mistress of Giuliano de' Medici,[6] Lucrezia Donati, platonic love of Lorenzo il Magnifico,[7] or Ginevra d'Amerigo Benci,[8] also portrayed in a painting by Leonardo da Vinci.[1][3][5]

Dama col mazzolino influenced Leonardo's Studies of hands.[9] It stands out for having the hands on the chest.[10][11]
