Verified profile

Gold medal at the Boston Exposition of 1890, the year to which its execution can be traced back, the painting, also remembered under the title Notissie Nove and Reading the newspaper, depicts a young woman sitting while sipping a cup of coffee , during a break from reading the Gazzettino of Venice. It is a female portrait set with great skill and elegance, which seems to underline the independent character of the character. It is a happy representation of a scene of everyday life, bourgeois and elegant, built with taste and refinement also thanks to the skilful use of color contrasts (the white of the newspaper, the dark colors of the dress, the lively color of the bow). The work depicts two themes of the painting of the time, a portrait and a view, that of Venice, which is outlined beyond the window, at the bottom of the painting.
