La Citella Romana (Maiden) 1575 - 1585

"La Ciuella Romana (Maiden)" is an etching by Pietro Bertelli, a prominent Italian artist of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The work, created between 1575 and 1585, depicts a Roman woman in profile, dressed in a veil and elaborate gown, showcasing the fashion of the time. Her delicate hand rests on a small bouquet, emphasizing her graceful figure. This drawing is a fine example of Bertelli's mastery in capturing the details of attire and the subtle expressions of his subjects.
