Giuseppina
Clara Esther Klinghoffer 1900 - 1970
Summary
A half-length, right side portrait of Giuseppina, a slim young Sicilian girl with her dark hair tied back and a sharp-featured face which seems unnaturalistically exaggerated. She wears an elaborate dress with long puffed out sleeves, and her hands resting in her lap. She sits against a plain blue background, which contrasts with the bright dress she is wearing.
