or “Bearded Lady” is an oil painted in a wood panel dated 1631, commissioned by the Viceroy of Naples, Fernando Afán de Ribera, and exposed at the Fundación Casa Ducal de Medinaceli of Toledo. In the central part of the picture is depicted a 37-year-old lady, affected by hirsutism. The woman, called Maddalena Ventura, is portrayed with the husband during the breastfeeding of her child. Contemporary documents report the development of hirsutism during the pregnancy. She was originally from the Italian region of Abruzzo and moved to Naples called by the Viceroy, as object of curiosity for the court, representing the “paradox” of the woman with a male appearance. This hirsutism that can be interpreted as a manifestation of ovarian or adrenal diseases, is here probably represented by Ribera as artistic exacerbation of the reality.
