Paola Adorno, Portrait of Paola Adorno, the daughter of Genoese Senator Giovanni Battista Adorno. She stands in three-quarter view looking directly at the viewer wearing an ornate costume complete with a large ruff. On her head, she wears a cap with feathers. To the left of the sitter is a chair with a parrot perched on the chair arm. Both the bird's fallen feathers (that lie on the floor) and the wilted rose in the sitter's hands allude to the fleeting nature of youth and beauty. The large interior space that Van Dyck creates marked with tall columns and draping curtains is reminiscent of Rubens's "Miracles of St. Ignatius." In the background, there appears to be a balcony and a skyscape., 1627
