Portrait of the Singer Matilde Juva-Branca (1851). Francesco Paolo Hayez (Italian, 1791-1881). Oil on canvas. Galleria d'Arte Moderna di Milano.

Opera singer Juva-Branca is depicted with an enigmatic and austere gaze. The work is considered a masterpiece thanks to the accuracy of its psychological introspection and its flawless formal resolution. The arrangement of the figure at a three-quarter angle, her arm resting on a chair that has been covered with an ermine mantle spread, creates a series on planes that expand the sense of space. The figure of the woman, wrapped in luxurious black-silk robes, is severe, contrasting with the lace that frames her face and hands.
