Portrait of Tognina Gonsalvus

The Portrait of Antonietta Gonzales is a portrait by one of the most important Italian Renaissance women artists, Lavinia Fontana. The portrait is oil on canvas and depicts a girl with hypertrichosis named Antonietta Gonsalvus (also known as Tognina Gonsalvus), daughter of Petrus Gonsalvus. Antonietta is dressed in finery to show her noble status, but as someone who would have been ostracized because of her unusual appearance, she would have been seen as more animal than human and would not have had the same freedoms as other courtiers.

Until 1990 the painting was credited as the work of a follower of Veronese. It was attributed to Lavinia Fontana due to her connection to the philosopher Ulisse Aldrovandi and another sketch she had drawn of a girl with hypertrichosis. The painting is now in the collection of the Château of Blois.
