Half-length Portrait of a Young Woman, This painting holds some controversy as to the subject. The title of the painting suggests that it is Caterina Campani, wife of Caravaggio's friend, the architect Onorio Longhi. Yet scholars have suggested that it could also be a portrait of an unknown Courtesan, a woman named Phyllis or the prostitute called Fillide Melandroni. The woman is shown in full profile holding flowers to her chest. Her gaze is direct.
