Portrait Of A Young Woman Signed Scaramucci, 1940

This portrait, attributed to Andrea Scaramucci, depicts a young woman facing forward with a serious and thoughtful expression. She is dressed in an elegant black gown with long, sheer sleeves that add a touch of delicacy to the image. Her arms are crossed, a gesture that emphasizes the subject's composure and confidence, giving the composition a sense of introspection and restraint.   The color palette is subdued, dominated by dark tones and soft shades of gray and pink in the background, which highlight the pale face and intense expression of the young woman. Her dark, wavy hair is neatly styled, framing an oval face with soft, well-defined features. Her lips, painted red, create a striking contrast between her fair complexion and the neutral background.   The painting measures 60 cm in width and 75 cm in height, a size that allows for the capture of expressive details without overwhelming the background, keeping the young woman's face as the focal point. The work is likely from the 1940s, aligning with Scaramucci's participation in the 1942 exhibition of the Umbrian Fascist Interprovincial Fine Arts Syndicate, where he presented a portrait among his works.   The painting is framed in a simple gilded frame that enhances its refinement without distracting from the intensity of the portrayed figure.
