"The Nun Morosini" is a portrait of a woman in a nun's habit by Italian artist Francesco Hayez, created in 1879. This painting demonstrates Hayez's mastery of portraiture, as he captures the subject's delicate features and contemplative expression with great detail. The nun's posture, with her head slightly bowed and eyes closed, evokes a sense of serenity and devotion. The soft lighting and muted palette further contribute to the painting's intimate and contemplative mood.
