拍品专文

Una Carita was painted some time in May 1883. According to a letter from Alma-Tadema to Deschamps, dated 11 May, he was residing at the Hotel Tramontano at the Casa Victor Emmanuel in Naples during that month.

This picture seems to have been painted very quickly, perhaps even alla prima with some later touches, probably because it was intended as a gift. It is striking for both its size; it is the smallest of Alma-Tadema's opus numbered paintings, and the dramatic foreshortening - the most marked use of this device within his oeuvre.

We are grateful to Dr Vern Swanson for his help in preparing this catalogue entry.
