The artwork, titled “Segovian Girl,” was created by the artist Robert Henri in the year 1912. It belongs to the American Realism movement and falls under the genre of portraiture.
The artwork portrays a young female figure, depicted with masterful brushwork that emphasizes realism and emotional depth. The girl’s face is rendered with soft yet precise strokes, capturing her solemn and introspective gaze. She wears a dark garment adorned with subtle, colorful details that add vibrancy and contrast to the otherwise dark, muted background. Henri’s technique highlights the texture of the fabrics and the naturalistic play of light and shadow, which further accentuates the girl’s delicate features. The composition focuses closely on her upper body and face, creating an intimate and direct connection with the viewer.
