Detail View of Catherine de Medicis en Veuve

#83. François Clouet,Catherine de Medicis en veuve (Catherine de Medicis as a Widow), around 1560, Department of Prints and Photographs, Na 22 Rés., boîte 4, Vellum.

According to Jean P. Berniard, this is "a portrait of an unidentified lady thought to be of Catherine but there is no proof it's her." I will allow the name to remain for now.
