Ermine.
Heavily over-painted.
-
The entire background was darkened.
-
Her dress below the ermine was retouched.
-
A transparent veil was repainted to match the colour of her hair.
-
The result of this last retouching has been to give the appearance that her hair reaches down and underneath her chin.
-
Yet another change was the addition of dark shadows between the fingers of her right hand, a close look at the bottom two fingers shows they are quite inferior to the others after an unknown restorer repainted them.

An x-ray of this painting revealed the presence of a door in the original background. (leonardodavinci.net)
