About the Item
This superb 19th-century portrait depicts a young Italian woman in traditional dress, holding a tambourine, a symbol of music and popular celebration. Dressed in a white shirt with puffed sleeves, adorned with red ribbons and a richly decorated bodice, she also wears a lace veil delicately placed over her dark hair.
The painter has skillfully captured the innocence and freshness of her face: her slightly rosy cheeks, her soft, dreamy gaze turned toward the sky, and her slight smile give the model an aura of grace and liveliness. The meticulous treatment of details—the folds of the fabric, the shine of the ribbons, the texture of the tambourine—testifies to the artist's academic skill.
The composition, halfway between a portrait and a genre scene, illustrates the romantic appeal of 19th-century Italian folkloric figures, much appreciated by Grand Tour travelers and lovers of Mediterranean exoticism.
A luminous and refined painting that combines meticulous realism and picturesque charm.
