Description:
Portrait of a woman in the refined style of "non finito," the style with which some painters of the early 19th century - surpassing the canons of Neoclassicism - voluntarily left some secondary parts of the painting unfinished to highlight the superiority of the inventive moment over the executive one, and to show the determining role of the central idea in the process of forming the work of art.
Oil on canvas, 54 x 36.8 cm, in a contemporary gilded frame.
