The work created during the painter's travels in Naples is a portrait of a local young woman. The red scarf tied at the back, along with the yellow striped shawl wrapped around her neck and bust, creates a strong contrast with the background's shades, amplifying the drama of the image. The play of light, the warm tones, and the chiaroscuro effect of the portrait evoke both mystery and closeness to the subject.
