FEUERBACH, Anselm: Portrait of a Roman Woman (Nanna)

🖼 Portrait of a Roman Woman (Nanna), 1862

Soft brushwork renders a woman's contemplative gaze against warm, muted tones, her classical drapery echoing Roman statuary. Feuerbach's idealized portrait merges Renaissance tradition with 19th-century Romanticism, capturing both historical reverence and intimate psychological depth.
