Tête d’Italienne avec une couronne de laurier (Head of an Italian girl with a laurel wreath) (1872)
A young Italian girl gazes softly, her dark hair crowned with delicate laurel leaves. The wreath rests lightly, its green against her warm skin. There’s a quiet pride in her eyes, a stillness that holds the viewer. The light catches the curve of her cheek, the folds of her simple garment.
