Description

The work originally belonged to the inventory of the private property of the king, as it was purchased by the sovereign from one of the Genoese promoters of the second half of the nineteenth century. The refined portrait of the young woman, with a hairstyle embellished with flowers and a rose placed in the neckline of the dress, seems to identify with the goddess Flora. The pose of the figure and the rendering of the modeling, still pervaded by romantic sensibility, already reflect the naturalistic culture that also established itself in Genoa between the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century and had a strong hold in the bourgeois environment.
