About the Item
This beautiful pencil drawing depicts a portrait of a young, sweet girl with short hair and a direct, intense gaze, portrayed in half-length, sitting at a table or desk.
Although it is not signed it is undoubtedly attributable to the great Italian artist Cesare Vittore Luigi Tallone.
The work is executed on neutral-toned paper and is framed by a beautiful and elegant passe-partout.
The technique used is a soft pencil, with shaded strokes to create shading and depth. The style is realistic, with particular attention to the facial features and expression of the subject.
The light comes from the left, illuminating the left side of the face and casting shadows on the right side and background. The subject is wearing dark clothing and a light-coloured shirt with a ruffled collar or scarf.
The hands are slightly visible, resting on the surface in front of the figure.
The background is minimalist, with a few lines suggesting the presence of undefined objects or furnishings.
The overall effect is one of calm and harmony of rare intensity.
This artwork, never before on the market, comes from an important Italian private collection

Cesare Tallone (11 August 1853 – 21 June 1919) was an Italian painter.
Born in Savona, Italy, and after losing his father at the age of ten, Tallone moved with his mother and sisters to Alessandria, where he became a pupil of the decorative artist Pietro Sassi.
Some members of the local bourgeoisie commissioned the first portraits from him and persuaded the City Council to finance his studies.
Thanks to this financial aid, Tallone was able to enrol in the Brera Academy in 1872, studying under Raffaele Casnedi, Luigi Riccardi and Giuseppe Bertini until 1880.
His talent was obvious from his very first works and was recognised by Francesco Hayez, who allowed him the use of his own studio near the Academy.
An active participant in the lively cultural milieu in Milan and member of the Famiglia Artistica since its foundation in 1873 by Vespasiano Bignami.
He won the triennial combined schools of painting competition at the Brera exhibition in 1879, with a historical subject. He reprised this subject for the canvas shown together with the Portrait of Luigi Bernasconi (Rome, Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna) at the "Esposizione di Belle Arti" di Roma in 1883. Tallone often spent time in Rome with Antonio Mancini and Francesco Paolo Michetti.
His success with public and critics alike was confirmed the following year at the Esposizione Generale Italiana in Turin.
In 1885, he was appointed teacher of painting at the Carrara Academy, in Bergamo, a position which he also held at the Brera Academy from 1899, succeeding Bertini.
During these years he continued to exhibit his works and he became known as a portraitist in intellectual, bourgeois and aristocratic circles.
One of the last awards he won was the Principe Umberto Prize in 1908, and an entire room was devoted to his works at the Esposizione Internazionale d'Arte di Venezia the same year. He died in Milan.
In 1921, on the initiative of his friend Bignami, the Brera Academy commemorated him with a posthumous retrospective.
