About the piece
This charming oil painting by Cristiano Banti captures his daughter, Alaide, in a moment of quiet repose. Set against a backdrop of deep greens and sun-dappled foliage, the delicate light blue of her dress provides a striking and elegant contrast, exemplifying the Macchiaioli school's focus on light and shadow.
