		The entire background was darkened, her dress below the ermine was retouched and a transparent veil being worn by the woman was repainted to match the colour of her hair.
		An x-ray of this painting revealed the presence of a door in the original background.
		The ermine is related to the Russian sable, an animal whose fur is used for the manufacture of very high-quality modern brushes.

		She is "Lady with an Ermine (Portrait of Cecilia Gallerani)," painted in 1489-'90 by artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519).
		Certainly, the story of "Lady with an Ermine" is sufficiently dramatic to keep any curator awake for at least the three or four years it takes to assemble a show of this stature.
		In 1809, the princess - an ardent advocate of Polish art and literature - placed "Lady with an Ermine" on display at Gothic House, a small museum she later opened to the public.

	The Ermine
		The ermine is depicted in heraldic symbols, royal gowns, and in significant portraits of the Renaissance.
		Ermines are very small animals, only 6 to 12 inches from head to rump, with a long, bushy tail.
		However, given the age of Cecilia, and the irony of her name and Lodovico's badge, it is almost undisputable that this is, in fact, an ermine in the portrait.

		The ease of her posture is also suggested by the mellow gentleness of her childlike face, and by the manner in which her tightly-combed hair is wound around her chin like the flaps of a bonnet, its spherical rhythm echoed and varied by the double curves of the necklace looped twice around her neck.
		The ermine was a symbol of chastity and purity.
		An allegory of virtue would hardly seem to support the idea that the lady was a mistress.

		The Lady with an Ermine is a 1485 painting by Leonardo da Vinci.
		Several interpretations of the significance of the ermine in her portrait are possible.
		Strictly speaking, the animal in the painting appears to be not an ermine but a white ferret, a type favoured in the Middle Ages because of the ease of seeing the white animal in thick undergrowth.

	Ozzie's letter
		By tradition, the ermine is supposed to be a visual pun on the resemblance of the lady's name, Cecilia Gallerani, to the Greek galeé (weasel, marten-cat, or ferret).
		Relative to the lady, it is as long as, and almost as robust as, the small cat depicted in Leonardo's "Madonna with Cat." It would have about fourteen inches of head and body, and perhaps three or four pounds in weight.
		Nor is the animal an ermine of the mind, like the comical little creature in William Segar's "Ermine Portrait" of Queen Elizabeth a century later.

		The Lady with an Ermire is a 1485 painting by Leonardo da Vinci.
		When he was commissioned to paint her portrait in 1485, he represented her holding an Ermine either because her name, Galle, means Ermine in Greek or because Ludovico Sforza's emblem was "L'Ermellino".
		It is the inspiration for the parody "Woman Holding Ferret" by Leonard of Quirm in the Discworld series.

		An object of the greatest rarit, the Lady with an Ermine is a captivating image of exquisite elegance and reveals the artistic genius of Leonardo da Vinci's incomparable creative mind.

		However, the ermine spots were used as a symbol on heraldry to portray ermine fur.
		If this is the case, calling the animal an ermine would have been important to the portrait -- the Greek word for ermine is galee, and would have been a pun on her name, Gallerani.
		The ermine also refers to her character, because the animal was said to be so clean that it would not allow its coat to be dirty.

		Leonardo´s Lady with an Ermine depicts Cecilia Gallerani, mistress of Ludovico Sforza, the duke of Milan.
		To Leonardo the ermine was a symbol of moderation and purity.
		The animal is also a pun on the sitter´s surname, because the Greek word for ermine (galee) is similar to the Italian "Gallerani." In addition, the ermine also serves as an emblem of the duke, having been endowed with the Order of the Ermine in 1488.

	Leonardo da Vinci
		The painting "Lady with an Ermine" is generally thought to be a portrait of Cecilia Gallerani, the current mistress of Duke Ludovica Sforza (1451-1508), called "the Moor" because of his dark hair and skin.
		It is speculated that while her skin and the ermine are definitely by Leonardo, it's possible that Ambrogio Predis, with whom Leonardo was staying in Milan, did some of the rest of the painting.
		This is an exquisite painting of a very beautiful, intelligent and powerful young woman who knew how to survive in the prevailing milieu and keep the attention of a powerful noble figure.
