Emilia di Spilimbergo by Titian, Gian Paolo Pace https://www.nga.gov/artworks/1221-emilia-di-spilimbergo
A pair of portraits of Emilia di Spilimbergo and her younger sister Irene was begun in about 1558, most likely in anticipation of their prospective marriages. The initial reason may have been to present two highly eligible, aristocratic young women to potential husbands, or the portraits may have been intended as permanent mementos for the sisters’ family after they were married.
