This portrait has extraordinary intensity: the slightly lowered face, soft light, and warm tones immediately create an intimate and highly evocative atmosphere. The color is applied with gentle brushstrokes and areas of denser tint that give depth and volume to the figure. It is a simple yet powerful image that immediately engages anyone who looks at it.

Sughi's painting activity is situated within the Italian 20th-century figurative realism, alongside masters like Guttuso, Zigaina, Attardi, and Guccione, with a voice among the most personal and immediately recognizable of his generation. His focus on the figure and everyday emotions makes these portraits direct, human, and devoid of rhetoric. This 'Portrait of a young girl' clearly expresses his most authentic sensitivity.

The work created in the seventies, a period of full creative expression for Sughi, is well recognizable for its image construction and use of color. Presented in a frame of contemporary taste and in good condition, ready to be displayed. A solid and secure piece, ideal for those who desire an intense, readable, and impactful Sughi.

Alberto Sughi (Cesena, 1928 – Bologna, 2012) was one of the most important protagonists of Italian Postwar Realism. After numerous exhibitions, in 1988, a major retrospective at the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome cemented his reputation; since then, and with exhibitions continuing to this day, his works have been featured in shows and exhibitions in Italy and abroad, with a steady and recognized interest.
