Head of a young neapolitan girl

About this work

This painting is a portrait of a young girl. She is shown in profile, facing right, with her dark hair pulled back into a braid. The girl wears a red scarf with black spots around her neck. Her skin has a soft, rosy glow. The background of the painting is a light beige color, which helps to highlight the girl's features. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the girl is lost in thought.
