Description from the seller
Vivaldo Martini (1908–1990)
Female Portrait
Oil on canvas
Signed lower right
Dimensions: 73 × 60 cm approx
⸻
Elegant female portrait painted by the Swiss painter of Italian origin Vivaldo Martini, an artist known for his great ability to capture the expressiveness of faces and for a career largely devoted to portraiture.
The work depicts a young woman in a three-quarter pose, with a direct and intense gaze. The painting treatment is soft and refined, with particular attention to rendering the complexion and to the light, which gently models the face and shoulders. The white dress, rendered with textural brushstrokes, contrasts with the neutral background, helping to highlight the figure.
The style fits within the artist's typical production, characterized by solid figuration and a balanced chromatic sensibility.
