1910s Contessa Vera Papadopoli Arrivabene (1883-1946) by Umberto Brunelleschi (1879-1949).
Vera lived in Palazzo Papadopoli in Venice and was the lover of Ignazio Florio, yes the husband of the beautiful Franca, who also fought a duel for her with Count Arrivabene, in 1912; for the scandal the two spouses separated, but Vera continued the relationship. It seems that in the last period of his life he was a victim of opiates.
