Giovan Battista Moroni (1520/24- 1579)

Portrait of a little girl from the Redetti family

Genre: Portrait

1570-1573 Oil on canvas 43.3 x 33.2 cm

Accademia Carrara , Bergamo.

The little girl is dressed like a lady of her time, with an elegant brocade surcoat and a precious pearl necklace, but she doesn’t seem too intimidated by the role she is forced to play. Her intense gaze, in which melancholy and pride are mixed, remains one of the most famous and powerful details of Moroni’s painting, acclaimed interpreter, already in her time, of a similar portraiture .
