Woman with a Mandolin c. 1755 - 1760

Giovanni Battista Tiepolo's "Woman with a Mandolin" (c. 1755-1760) portrays a young woman with a delicate, almost ethereal quality, playing a mandolin. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and volume, highlighting the woman's soft features and the intricate details of the instrument. Tiepolo's signature Rococo style is evident in the flowing lines of the woman's drapery and the overall sense of elegance and grace. This painting is a beautiful example of Tiepolo's mastery of figural composition and his ability to capture the beauty and sensuality of his subjects.
