The print by Marie de Medici |
One of the earliest works in the collection is a bust of a young woman from 1587 that is attributed to Marie de Medici. Marie was the daughter of the Grand Duke of Tuscany and she created this woodcut in her native Italy thirteen years before her marriage to Henri IV of France. If the inscription, which reads "Marie de Medici made this," is true, this is the oldest existing print by a patrician woman.
