...puzzling analogy, considering that it comes from a woman who is busy raising a three-year-old child, and it sheds light on the jarring effect that childbirth had on Lord’s career. The success of Got No Shadow was tempered by two events that occurred soon after its release. Within the space of a few weeks, Lord checked into rehab for alcoholism and discovered that she was pregnant.

She died in childbirth in 1488 at the age of only 20, and it's possible that the image was made after her death, as a kind of monument. (J. Pierpont Morgan, who kept it in the study of his library in New York City, doted on it because it reminded him of his own dead wife, Amelia Sturges.) What is certain, however, is that Ghirlandaio's rich...
