337) Bianca degli Utili

Bianca degli Utili. An Italian noblewoman, wife of Pierino Maselli. We don't have further information about this family, but since all the children (five sons and one daughter, Verginia) seem to be redheads, we suppose Pierino Maselli too had red hair. The painting is by Lavinia Fontana (c. 1605).
