Suspended Amazement

Portrait of a daughter defined by sharp shadows contrasting with a dazzling light directed at her face. The formal suggestion is vaguely cubist, with rigid schematization of curls transformed into spiral ribbons and a geometric rendering of the background with oblique or curved lines. The expression is typical of a child's spirit, both present and absent at the same time, with a dreamy gaze directed elsewhere, into a mysterious world closed off to adults.
