Tekst veilingcatalogus:
The traditional identification of the sitter is lent support by similarities with known likenesses of her, most of which (including the present work) are however likely to be posthumous. Her features, and especially her heart-shaped face with a small chin and mouth, can be recognised in those of the donatrix in Jan Mostaert's diptych of Christ appearing to His Mother and The Redeemed, which was included in the exhibition Prayers and Portraits, and was extensively discussed in the catalogue, where this identification "appears to be confirmed". A portrayal of her probably done during her lifetime in a manuscript illumination in The Hours of Mary of Burgundy is however less convincing, though it may well not have been a likeness, while a profile portrait of her by Michael Pacher is much more convincing, showing her upturned nose not so evident, but nonetheless imaginable, in the present portrayal of her with her head turned to her right. In these depictions of her, and in an anonymous portrayal of her of circa 1530-40 in Gaasbeek Castle, Belgium she is shown with her characteristic tall hennin, but only in the present work does her blonde hair hang down beyond it.
