Cleveland Museum of Art

The Venetian Girl by Frank Duveneck: A painting of a young woman with long, dark hair and a red headband. She wears a white shirt with billowy sleeves and a dark vest. Her face has rosy cheeks and she looks directly ahead. She holds a large shallow bowl containing fruit in front of her. The background is dark brown and gold. The woman's attire suggests a peasant or working-class style. The overall color palette is muted.
