Printed on heavyweight cream stock. Plate mark present. Reverse side is blank.
It's hard to appreciate the stunning detail and clarity of this print until you see it in person.
This picture offers us striking testimony as to Veronese's skill as a portrait painter, in the half length figure of a woman, front view, a clenched hand resting upon her hip, the other hand held out to her son, a little urchin, with woolly hair like that of a negro. She has a calm, assured physiognomy, a firm regard and a slightly disdainful mouth. Everything in this fine likeness, face, attitude and costume, is sincere and harmonious.
