Description[change | change source]
The painting "Head of a Woman" by Filippini is similar to the painting "Woman with a green dress" of 1877, exhibited at the Exhibition of 19th century Brescia painting in 1934 (cat. No. 330). Green is one of the most important colors of Filippini, and of great difficulty in the artistic management of its shades.
