The Portrait of Maria Maddalena Portinari, created around 1470 by Hans Memling, is a small masterpiece rendered in oil and tempera on wood. It depicts a young girl about 14 years old, Maria Maddalena Baroncelli, shortly before her wedding to Italian banker Tommaso Portinari. Her attire exemplifies Northern renaissance fashion, featuring a long black hennin with a transparent veil and an elaborate jewel-studded necklace. This portrait may have influenced her depiction in Hugo van der Goes's later Portinari Altarpiece.
