About the piece

Painted in 1912 by Giovanni Giacometti, this portrait of Ottilia Giacometti showcases the artist's masterful use of expressive brushwork and vibrant, non-naturalistic color. The subject's contemplative gaze and the textured background create a dynamic yet intimate atmosphere, making it a striking example of early 20th-century Swiss modernism.
