Ludmilla Amerling 1847

"Ludmilla Amerling" is a portrait painting by Friedrich von Amerling, created in 1847. The painting depicts a young girl, Ludmilla, in a three-quarter profile, her gaze directed downwards. The composition is simple, with Ludmilla positioned against a dark background, which emphasizes her delicate features and the soft textures of her dress. The use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth, highlighting the subtle curves of her face and neck. This painting is a prime example of Amerling's mastery of portraiture, capturing the youthfulness and innocence of his subject with great sensitivity.
