First Love Oil on canvas, 100 x 55 cm, by Cei Cipriano, 1889 Location unknown |
||||||||||
| A tender moment as a young girl gazes with delight at the swaddled infant in her arms. Gentle contrasts of tone and shading highlight their closeness, while the careful transitions in light and form deepen the sense of intimacy. Cipriano turns a simple domestic subject into a touching image of childhood wonder and maternal devotion. |
