"Portrait of Laura da Pola" is an portrait painted in 1543–44 by Lorenzo Lotto, exemplifying the High renaissance style. Created as an oil-on-canvas, it vividly captures the noblewoman's refined features and grace. The work was commissioned by her husband, Febo Bettignoli da Brescia, along with a companion piece, with records noting its delivery in 1544. After her family's decline in the 19th century, the paintings were acquired by the Pinacoteca di Brera in 1859, where they remain, representing Lotto's mastery in the artistry of the portrait during Italy's artistic golden age.
