There is only a sort of similar picture Barbara in the Court of Mantua on Wikipedia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_of_Brandenburg,_Marquise_of_M...

Given the dates of the painting by Mantegna in Mantua 1471-74, I would think that the image may be more correct for the younger Barbara than the older. But that is a guess. He did reputedly die in Mantua. Probably an art historian needs to weigh in.

Yeah, Livio Scremin. I just know that art historians are sort of territorial and as an "art educator" I didn't want to stray onto their turf! I agree though. It's logical thinking.

I tried to find some more sources. I think that the older Barbara should be MPd as her husband is. Still working on it. If anyone wants to add, please do.
