I was fascinated by these woman's stories. 
The artist is Roslalba Sagredo Barbariso, a 17th cent. painter who used mainly pastels (and later oil) to capture images of Venetian aristocrats, and became extremely successful, a story in it's own right.
The subject, Caterina Carriera, was a Venetian noblewoman who, among other achievements, was a notorious salon holder and casino owner. She ran into trouble with the Inquisition because she allowed women clients to mix with the male members, but managed to avoid serious trouble.

I love the attitude the original portrait presents and have tried to convey it in my style; in this case, a 'gentle abstraction' that presents a strong female presence and attitude that the first portrait caught beautifully.

I have been a stained glass artist and fine art painter, on a full-time basis, since 1976. Born in Detroit, Michigan, I have traveled extensively in the pursuit of my education as an artist in both glass and painting. If any painting 'movement' has attracted my attention during this time, above the others, it might be the Cubists and their groundbreaking experiments in reducing 'reality' to the simplest forms, rejecting the super-realistic painting style for one that re-imagines and figures the everyday images in ways that have never been seen before. It's all a beautiful experiment and journey into the unexpected.
