About the piece
Painted around 1880 by Frank Duveneck, this portrait captures a young Venetian girl with a serene yet direct gaze. The work showcases Duveneck's characteristic Munich style, defined by vigorous brushwork, a dark tonalist palette, and a focus on capturing the immediate presence of the sitter with an almost earthy realism.
