About the piece
Painted in 1856 by Baldassare Verazzi, this oil on canvas work captures a moment of quiet vulnerability. A young girl, wrapped in a heavy brown cloak over a white dress, stands against a stone wall featuring a small devotional relief and a spray of flowers. Her outstretched hand and somber expression evoke a timeless narrative of charity and human connection typical of 19th-century European genre painting.
