Nello Lovine (1935) - Lo Sguardo Beffardo - NO RESERVE

Splendid oil painting on canvas by the Italian master Nello Iovine, esteemed exponent of Campanian school figurative painting (a pupil of Guido Casciaro at the Naples Academy).

The work depicts a refined female portrait in profile, characterized by an excellent rendering of chiaroscuro and by intense tones of purple and pink in the scarf and the garment.

The proud and almost ironic expression of the woman gives the piece a strong psychological impact, while the facial details and the jewelry testify to the painter's extraordinary skill in classical portraiture.
