Head of a boy, Ughetto Fagandini

The head is the portrait of a boy depicted with his chin slightly raised, half closed eyes and messy hair. He's Ughetto Fagandini, a young neighbor of the artist's house in Fidenza. Dated 1953, the work shows an elegant, classical modeling, which pays attention to a precise physical description, as it is shown by the attention paid to the pose of the boy, who seems to squint his eyes to defend himself from a strong light.
