Product description
We are pleased to present this splendid oil painting on canvas from the late 19th century. This beautiful portrait of a girl with a hat is by the Italian painter Giovanni Beltrami (born in Milan in 1860; died in Milan in 1926). The painting is unsigned, but on the back there is an original authenticity label issued by the painter's sister, his heir.
This wonderful painting depicts a young woman, half-length, facing left. Her face, with delicate features and half-closed or downcast eyes, conveys an intimate, melancholic, and deeply introspective atmosphere. She wears dark garments typical of upper-class fashion during the Belle Époque period, accented by a voluminous collar (probably fur or feathers) and a striking, tilted dark hat that partially covers her head. A light veil can be seen covering the upper part of her face: hats with veils were a symbol of refinement during that period. The background is ethereal and nuanced, featuring pale shades of blue and gray reminiscent of a clear sky.
The pictorial quality is high, characterized by rapid, free, and full-bodied brushstrokes. The strong chromatic contrast between the intense black of the woman's clothing and the luminous background brings out the figure with great vigor and visual immediacy.
If you love portraits, you absolutely must add this wonderful painting to your collection. A splendid work of art that will enchant your guests!
The painting is framed in a magnificent late 19th-century gilded wooden frame with delicate classical decorations.
