Woman Resting Chin on Hand

Catalogue note

A young woman in a white blouse leans her head against her hand, gazing directly at the viewer against a garden background of green foliage and pale architecture. The face is modelled in warm flesh tones with candid, unforced brushwork, the white shirt handled in broad patches of light and shade. The directness of the gaze and the relaxed pose give the portrait an intimate, conversational warmth.
