Head of the Virgin 

"Head of the Virgin" is a work by Italian Rococo painter Giambattista Pittoni, who was active in the 18th century. The painting depicts the Virgin Mary, her head tilted down and covered by a blue veil. The soft light highlights her delicate features, emphasizing a sense of piety and devotion. This close-up study exemplifies Pittoni's mastery of Baroque-inspired techniques with an emphasis on dramatic light and shadow, typical of the Rococo style.
