About the piece

Created around 1890, this oil study by Aurél Balló captures the innocent and direct gaze of a young girl. The artist employs a soft, impressionistic technique, using a warm palette of rosy pinks and purples that contrast beautifully with the girl's dark eyes and blue jewelry. As a study, the work possesses a raw, immediate quality that highlights Balló's masterful handling of light and skin tones.
