Nun 1911

"Nun" is a portrait by Spanish artist Julio Romero de Torres, painted in 1911. The work depicts a young woman dressed as a nun, her face partially obscured by a white wimple. The soft, subtle use of color and the contemplative expression of the sitter lend the painting an atmosphere of quiet piety. De Torres was known for his portraits of women, often depicted in traditional Spanish garb, and his works captured the beauty and melancholy of the era.
