"Denise com carneiro branco" (1961) is a painting by Brazilian artist Candido Portinari (1903-1962) known for his social realism and portrayals of Brazilian life. This painting depicts a young girl named Denise holding a white lamb. The figure is set against a background of geometric shapes, suggesting a Cubist influence, a style that broke down objects into geometric forms. The painting's subject matter and style reflect Portinari's interest in the innocence and vulnerability of childhood.
