Formerly the painting was attributed to Palma Vecchio. The sitter probably was Violante, Titian's mistress and the daughter of the artist Palma Vecchio, who also painted a series of Venetian beauties. She was represented with flowers in another famous painting by Titian, the "Bacchanalia" in the Prado.
