Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum
Lady in a Fur Wrap is an oil painting now generally attributed to Alonso Sánchez Coello, dated between 1580 and 1588 and now held at Pollok House in Glasgow. The identity of the sitter is uncertain, theories suggest the portrait to be a depiction of Catalina Micaela of Spain or Juana de Mendoza, Duchess of Béjar Against a dark background a young woman gazes at the viewer, dressed in a fur robe covering the rest of her dress. A fine transparent veil covers her head, and vaguely a necklace can be seen that she is wearing underneath it.
