Veturia, the mother of Coriolanus, from De Mulieribus Claris (About Famous Women) by Boccaccio, a 15th- or 16th-century book about famous women of the past.
A rather dour looking woman wears a padded roll and veil on her head and a front-laced red bodice over a dark kirtle. She is skeining yarn on a niddy-noddy.
