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

The identity of the woman could be Fioretta Gorini, spouse of Giuliano de' Medici,[6] Lucrezia Donati, platonic love of Lorenzo il Magnifico,[7] or the portrait of Ginevra d'Amerigo Benci,[8] of Leonardo.[1][3][5]

Dama col mazzolino had influences on Studio di mani, of Leonardo da Vinci.[9] It stand out for having the hands on the chest.[10][11]
