Anthropomorphic profile of a woman Oil on canvas, 80 x 65 cm, anonymous, 17th–18th century Location unknown |
||||||||||
| As with the painting depicting the profile of a man, this composition presents a woman's head formed entirely from flowers, leaves, and curling stems, set against a soft, clouded sky. Painted in the style of Giovanni Stanchi, it reflects his interest in structured floral arrangements and decorative richness, transforming botanical elements into an imagined portrait. Though the concept recalls Arcimboldo’s composite heads, the treatment here leans towards elegance and surface harmony rather than the eccentricity typical of his work. |
