About the piece
Painted in 1919 by Brazilian artist Décio Villares, this portrait captures a woman in profile with a remarkable softness of touch. The hazy, golden background contrasts beautifully with the deep greens of her attire, creating a dreamlike and timeless quality characteristic of early 20th-century atmospheric painting.
