Woman with pink shawl 1894

Silvestro Lega's 1894 painting, *Woman with Pink Shawl*, is a portrait of a young woman, likely from the artist's circle, wearing a pink shawl that drapes around her shoulders and head. The painting is characterized by the soft, blended brushstrokes typical of Lega's work, and the delicate portrayal of the woman's features and the shawl's delicate fabric create a sense of intimacy and warmth. The portrait showcases Lega's skill in capturing the subtle nuances of light and shadow, a hallmark of his realist style.
