The paper examines five poems in which the Portuguese Baroque poet Frei Jerónimo Baía (1620-1688) depicts the portrait of the beloved woman. Each of these texts features the list of the different body parts praised for their beauty, following a model already present in the Petrarchist tradition. Baía combines to this model, like other authors of the same period, a display of wit and a playful disposition for wordplay, hyperbole, and paradox.
