Oil painting by G. Morello - La ragazza col turbante

Giovanni Morello's (1956) painting "La ragazza col turbante" depicts a portrait of a young woman, reminiscent of the famous work "Girl with a Pearl Earring" by Johannes Vermeer. The figure is shot in profile with her face finely lit. The girl has a calm and charming appearance, facing the viewer, with light eyes and slightly parted lips. She wears a turban made of blue and white fabric with yellow and blue flower decorations, which wraps around her head and falls softly down her shoulders. The earring, a characteristic element of the painting, is a gleaming pendant pearl that catches the light and stands out against the dark neutral background. The artist chose a realistic style, with special attention to detail in the face and the play of light and shadow, giving the painting a sense of three-dimensionality. The warm tones of the skin and the quality of the fabric suggest Morello's mastery in portraiture, especially of female subjects, that radiate a sense of delicacy and calm. Canvas size 40x30 cm.
