Painting portrait of a woman signed G. Puricelli, Italy 19th century

This exquisite portrait of a young 19th-century woman offers a fascinating glimpse into the artistic sensibilities of the era. Signed lower right in red G. Puricelli, it is attributable to the Italian painter Giuseppe Puricelli, born in Gallarate on 4 September 1825 and died in Casirate d'Adda on 17 July 1894, without authentication. A young woman dressed in simple but elegant clothes, adorned with a fashionable black hat, perfectly embodies the style of the era. The artist's choice to portray her in three-quarter view, with her head slightly bowed and a contemplative gaze, evokes a sense of mystery and introspection. The expressionist influence of the work is palpable. Work relined. Price negotiable.
