This particular large antique oil painting portrait of a lady is one of August Heinrich Riedell models Vittoria Caldoni . The model Vittoria Caldoni was the most popular model among the German artists residing in Rome in the early nineteenth-century; especially those associated with the Nazarene movement. Over 100 paintings with her image have survived. Many artists considered her to be an ideal female figure. She was generally portrayed in local costume or allegorical garb, often with attributes that referred to representations of the Madonna. The exact number of paintings she sat for is unknown and many were destroyed, especially during World War II. There are also a few portrait busts.
