Surtees titles this finished drawing âWoman in Medieval Costumeâ. But as DGR's gloss running along the left edge of the picture shows, he meant this as a portrait of
Beatrice done in Dürer's manner. The parodic accession entry for the âGalleria Pittiâ recalls
the âfigura misticaâ that he imagined in the Pitti in his story âHand and Soulâ.
