Portraiture is one of the most widespread artistic expressions, especially in painting, but also in sculpture, throughout the ages. Portraiture is, first and foremost, a description of the subject depicted, an attempt to capture their physiognomy and individual characteristics truthfully and naturally. With the progressive evolution of artistic research, the physiognomic description of the subject has also been accompanied by a psychological one. Therefore, over the centuries, portraiture has also become a means of introspective investigation of the subject, their character, and their state of mind. The processes of abstraction brought about by contemporary art have contributed to this type of investigation.

In this portrait, the artist seems to favor an intimate, familiar representation. Indeed, the portrait is characterized by a subdued, minimal realism. Emblematic of this is the emptying of the subject's material, rendered entirely on a flat surface, indicating the artist's aim to delve into the true essence of things. Thus, the girl's figure is resolved with a vibrant brushstroke and an almost flat application of color in a subtle harmony of cool hues. The white of her dress stands out against the gray-blue background, in a balanced contrast with the pink of her skin. Minimalism, beyond familial intimacy, signifies synthesis and therefore, ultimately, a type of expressionistic representation conducted in a more subdued tone.

As we can see from the analysis of this work, the artist who created it stands out for his use of a figurative language which, however, is emptied of formal values ​​to arrive at an expressionistic minimalism.
