Old Coquette

"Old Coquette" by Bernardo Strozzi exemplifies his mastery in Baroque painting, showcasing his vibrant use of Oil on canvas. The work likely portrays a genre scene, capturing a coquettish expression and demeanor that reflect social nuances of the time. Strozzi's energetic brushstrokes and rich, glowing colours bring the subject to life with a sense of vitality characteristic of his broader oeuvre, which includes history, allegorical, and genre painting. As a pioneering figure of Venetian Baroque art, his powerful, expressive style leaves a lasting impression in this compelling portrait.
