"Study of an Italian Woman" is a portrait by Leon Wyczółkowski, a Polish artist known for his realist paintings. Created in 1876, this oil on canvas depicts a woman in traditional Italian attire, her head covered with a white veil, her neckline adorned with a red beaded necklace, and a patterned apron, highlighting the beauty of her attire and the artist's keen attention to detail. The woman is seated in profile, creating an intimate and contemplative atmosphere. The use of light and shadow emphasizes the model's features and adds depth to the composition.
