The subject of Lady with an Ermine, a portrait by Leonardo da Vinci from around 1489–1490, is identified as Cecilia Gallerani, and is probably painted at a time when she is the mistress of Lodovico Sforza, Duke of Milan and Leonardo is in the service of the Duke.
At the time of its painting, the medium of oil paint is relatively new to Italy, having been introduced in the 1470s.
Leonardo is one of those artists who has adopted the new medium and skillfully exploited its qualities.
