A Space of Their Own

Virginia Vezzi

Selected Works

A half-length portrait of a young woman wearing an elaborate costume of satin white, blue, mauve, and orange. Her hair is tied back, and she wears earrings. She holds a sword in her right hand, crossed across her chest. She looks down and to the left of the canvas with a serene smile, seemingly unaware of the viewer.
