The features of Medardo Rosso's sculptural portraits…
1893 CE
The features of Medardo Rosso's sculptural portraits emerge in shimmer and shadow (e.g., La portinaia, "Lady with a Veil"; 1893; Barzio, Museo Medardo Rosso).
As in the work of the Impressionist painters and also that of his fellow sculptor Auguste Rodin, explicit detail is usually subordinated to texture, suggestion, and effect.
