About Maria, (Lucinda)

Entitled “Maria, (Lucinda),” created in 1917 by the esteemed artist Robert Henri, this artwork is an exemplary piece within the American Realism art movement. It belongs to the genre of portraiture. The artwork depicts a young girl positioned against a backdrop of rich, earthy tones and vibrant colors. Wrapped in a white garment that contrasts strikingly with the surrounding hues, her face is turned to the side, her expression contemplative and serene. The use of bold brushstrokes and a vivid color palette enhances the lifelike quality of the portrait, compelling the observer to engage with the subject’s quiet presence. The layered colors in the background, ranging from deep blues to warm oranges, provide a dynamic yet complementary contrast to the subject’s calm demeanor and soft attire. This portrait captures a fleeting moment of introspection and innocence, reflecting Henri’s masterful ability to convey depth and emotion through his realist depiction.
