451083 Portrait of Laura Bertolini, 1913 (graphite & black crayon, on beige wove paper, mounted down) by Gemito, Vincenzo (1852-1929); 136.2 x 78 cm; Philadelphia Museum of Art, Pennsylvania, PA, USA; (add.info.: Gemito, an orphaned street child from Naples, became the most important Italian sculptor of the late nineteenth century and is increasingly regarded as one of the period\'s great draughtsmen. He made two large-scale pendant portraits of a brother and a sister for the Bertolini family, who owned the grandest hotel in Naples, Bertolini\'s Palace Hotel, at the time the drawings were done. Each of these portraits is odd in its own way; here, the girl\'s age seems far too advanced for her short, ruffled dress. ); 穢 Philadelphia Museum of Art ; Purchased with the Lola Downin Peck Fund, the Alice Newton Osborn Fund, and with funds contributed by Marilyn L.
