António Carneiro - Blue Symphony, 1920
The story
A portrait of the artist's daughter Maria Josefina, painted in 1920. The folds and shimmer of her blue dress give the painting its musical title — "Blue Symphony." Carneiro built her up in soft, scraped layers rather than firm outlines, treating the portrait as something more poetic than literal.
