The Lady with an Ermine is a 1485 painting by Leonardo da Vinci. Its subject is Cecilia Gallerani, the mistress of Lodovico Sforza, Duke of Milan. The painting is one of only three female portraits Leonardo painted. As in many of Leonardo's portraits, the composition comprises a pyramidic spiral and the sitter is caught in the motion of turning to her left, reflecting Leonardo's life-long preoccupation with the dynamics of movement. Il Moro's court poet, Bernando Bellincioli, was the first to propose that Cecilia is poised as if listening to an unseen speaker.
