Woman with Flowers (Italian: Dama col mazzolino or Italian: Gentildonna dalle belle mani) is a marble sculpture 60 centimetres (24 in) in height executed by Andrea del Verrocchio between 1475 and 1480.[1][2][3][4][5] It is in the Bargello Museum in Florence.[1][2][3][4][5]

The identity of the woman could be Fioretta Gorini, mistress of Giuliano de' Medici,[6] Lucrezia Donati, platonic love of Lorenzo il Magnifico,[7] or Ginevra d'Amerigo Benci,[8] also portrayed in a painting by Leonardo da Vinci.[1][3][5]

Dama col mazzolino influenced Leonardo's Studies of hands.[9] It stands out for having the hands on the chest.[10][11]
