The name Portrait of a Young Woman of Frankfurt is a misnomer i.e. to say he young woman in question wasn't from Frankfurt. Rather she was probably the most celebrated beauty of in Florence at the time.

The Frankfurt bit refers to the fact that it's owned by the Frankfurt Stadel. On its English web page it translate its title as Idealized Portrait of a Lady (Simonetta Vespucci) and I suggest that is how it should be renamed. The idealised bit is important because although the painting might very well be a portrait of Simonetta Vespucci, it is nevertheless idealised (the hair for example braided over the bust). Indded Boticelli had famous previously painted Simonetta, now lost, as a Pallas Athene for a banner at a tournament. 185.29.167.60 (talk) 14:08, 15 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rename to Portrait of a Young Woman (Botticelli, Frankfurt) following the usual disam pattern. Johnbod (talk) 21:20, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
How to do the rename? I was very surprised by the "of Frankfurt" bit when I came here. It really has to be changed, but I don't know how to do it. Coat of Many Colours (talk) 19:05, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Portrait of a Young Woman
Portrait of a Young Woman is a tempera painting on wood which is commonly believed to be by the Italian Renaissance painter Sandro Botticelli, but also attributed to Jacopo del Sellaio. Executed between 1480 and 1485, it shows a woman in profile but with her bust turned in three-quarter view to reveal a cameo medallion around her neck. The painting is in the Städel museum, Frankfurt, Germany.Painting: Attributed to Sandro Botticelli
