Description:
This horizontal composition by Pino, titled Family Portrait, beautifully captures an intimate family moment in an interior setting. The scene centers around a mother, elegantly dressed in a white gown, seated on a couch. Her serene gaze is lovingly directed at her young son, who is peacefully asleep with his head resting on her lap. To the right, the boy's older sister, dressed in a soft pink dress, stands beside them, observing the tender moment with quiet affection.

The color palette is warm, dominated by soft, inviting hues that gently lead the viewer's eye to the mother’s white dress—the lightest part of the composition—emphasizing her role as the focal point of the scene. The slightly darker tones in the background create a subtle contrast, allowing the figures to stand out, enhancing the painting’s warmth and emotional depth.

Pino's brushwork is a remarkable blend of loose, expressive strokes that imbue the scene with a lively, impressionistic quality, while still maintaining a strong sense of realism. The texture of the brushwork adds dynamism to the composition, which, despite its stillness, feels vibrant and alive. The artist's masterful handling of light and shadow further accentuates the intimacy and tenderness of the moment, making the painting a moving tribute to the bonds of family.
