About Artwork: (About 1500) "Fourteen smartly dressed ladies kneel in prayer. They are female members of a confraternity (a quasi-religious brotherhood), praying to their patron saint; its men are shown in another painting in the National Gallery’s collection. We are not sure who this picture is by, but it is thought to have been painted in Milan in around 1500 and was once part of a banner carried in the confraternity’s processions. It was painted on silk or canvas, and later mounted on wood. The women are clearly meant to be recognisable people, but none has yet been identified. They wear a variety of clothes, reflecting both their age and their social status. Older women tend to have their hair covered, sometimes by several layers of veils, while the younger ones tie it back in fine nets held in place by narrow bands." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
