Eliseo Sala was one of the most esteemed portraitists of Milanese society in the 1840s and 1850s. Trained by Hayez at the Academy in Brera, he developed a great sensitivity in the depiction of female beauty. His depictions of female heroines in contemporary romantic literature became famous. In his expertise, Prof. Fernando Mazzocca dates this portrait of an unknown beauty to the first half of the 1840s.
