Amarilla

Amarilla by British Painter Frederic Leighton (1830 – 1896); was a painter and a sculptor, who was part of the Academic, Neoclassic and British Aesthetic Movements; as well as a politician.

This is a beautiful portrait of a young alluring brunette girl with a sad look on her face posing by a stone wall that overlooks the ocean and a shoreline of green foliage.

Directly behind her are two large trees with brown leaves and some red leaves, that indicate the fall season has arrived; and just off to her right we can see small sailboat coming towards the shore.

She has wrapped around her head a white kerchief with a black line pattern along its edge, a white blouse, a full length red dress, a black velour vest jacket; and is holding a handkerchief in her left hand, with her right hand resting on the ledge of the stone wall.
