Portrait of a young maiden

The watercolor on paper, signed on the lower right by Alessandro Zezzos, portrays a half bust of a girl posed in three-quarters with roughly styled hair. The face, well defined in all its anatomical details, is characterized by deep blue eyes veiled with melancholy. The young woman is wrapped in a simple and wide shirt, which enhances her delicate beauty. The romantic dimension of the composition is clearly accentuated by the slight chromatism, marked by shades of pink and blue.
