olio su tavola
Made in Gabbro, a small town a few kilometers from Livorno, it is part of a series of portraits that Lega dedicated to the women of the village in the last decade of the 19th century. Looking intense, melancholy, the face is inscribed in a circle that enhances the sense of concentration on it, as if the painter wanted to capture the mystery of the protagonist's thoughts. Extraordinary chromatic taste, which transitions from the brown of the robe and hair to the bright red of the bow, strategically placed in the center of the composition.
