A richly dressed woman raises a dish of fruit and flowers, turning presentation, costume and uncertain identity into the portrait's central questions.
Living Canvas / Visual evidence
The question mark belongs in the title. Five regions separate the proposed identity from the visible offering, costume, pose and workshop attribution.
