Antonio Bresciani (1902-1998) - Giovane fanciulla

An interesting and refined female portrait by Antonio Bresciani, an important exponent of Neapolitan painting of the twentieth century.
The work depicts a young woman caught in a spontaneous and intimate pose, with her gaze directed sideways and a hand in the foreground. Particularly successful is the expression on the face, rendered with soft and sensitive painting, capable of conveying naturalness and psychological intensity.
The female figure occupies a significant place in Bresciani's body of work: the artist indeed loved to represent mainly girls and young women in moments and attitudes of daily life, privileging a portraiture distant from officialdom and characterized by a strong human and affectionate component.
