Oil on canvas.
It is a copy with small variations of the famous painting by Giovanni Giani, currently preserved at the Quirinale in Rome (purchased in 1906 by Queen Margherita).
The work depicts a young woman in white in a moment of suspended anticipation, sitting in the garden on a window sill, among flowering rose bushes.
The figure evokes delicate and melancholic atmospheres, acting as a symbol of expectation, purity and youth.
The work is an example of the realist-liberty style of the Piedmontese artist Giani.
Our large painting recreates the strong decorative impact of the original work.
It is presented in an early 1900s frame.
