Malinconia (Melancholy, or Head of a Woman) before 1913

"Malinconia" (Melancholy, or Head of a Woman), a delicate and evocative print created by Luigi Conconi before 1913, depicts the head and shoulders of a woman with her eyes closed. The artist uses soft, subtle lines and shading to create a sense of introspective contemplation, capturing a moment of quiet sadness. The title "Malinconia" emphasizes the melancholic mood, which is heightened by the woman's closed eyes and the subdued, sepia tones of the artwork. The etching's intimate scale and tender treatment of the subject invite viewers to contemplate the universal emotion of melancholy.
