Portrait of a Young Girl 1939

"Portrait of a Young Girl" is an oil on canvas painting by Italian artist Romualdo Locatelli, created in 1939. The painting depicts a young girl with dark skin and long black hair, holding a white flower. Locatelli's use of loose brushstrokes creates a soft, almost dreamlike quality, while the muted tones of the background emphasize the girl's innocence and vulnerability. The work is a powerful example of Locatelli's ability to capture the beauty and fragility of childhood. The painting is currently in a private collection.
