Art history mustn’t mean art administry, so let's help Wikipedia!
Ambras Miniature — anonymous Mantuan artist (16th century)
Isabella in Red —
Rubens (c. 1605) after
Titian (c. 1524-36)
Isabella in Black (assumed as youthful idealisation after
Francesco Francia in 1511) —
Titian (1530s)
Note: After Isabella's death portraits with capigliara were marketed as the famous 'prima donna del mondo'. Isabella in Black is identified by an inscription on a Dutch etching three generations later. There is neither idealisation nor similarity, so this identification is doubtful and the variance might block missing identifications.
