Head -- Daughter of Concierge is a 1861 oil by William Morris Hunt, a American Impressionism work, held at Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
This painting shows a young girl in profile, facing right. She wears a dark dress and a white head covering. The background is dark, which makes the girl stand out. The girl's face is painted softly, with gentle features. Her hair is pulled back, and her head covering is tied under her chin. The dark background helps us focus on the girl's face and clothing. This painting uses chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects and figures.
William Morris Hunt (March 31, 1824 – September 8, 1879) was an American painter.
