"Portrait of His Sister" (Italian: "Ritratto della sorella") is a painting by the Italian artist Umberto Boccioni, a key figure in the Futurist movement. Created in 1905, this work predates Boccioni's involvement with Futurism, a movement that emphasized speed, technology, and modernity, which he would later help to define. The portrait is a testament to Boccioni's early artistic development and his exploration of the human figure within the context of his family.

The painting is a conventional representation that contrasts with Boccioni's later, more dynamic and abstract works. It showcases his proficiency in capturing the human likeness with sensitivity and attention to detail. The subject, Boccioni's sister, is depicted in a traditional half-length portrait format, which was common in the art of the period. The work is imbued with a sense of intimacy and personal connection, reflecting the artist's relationship with his sibling.

"Portrait of His Sister" is executed in oil on canvas, and its style is influenced by the prevailing trends of the time, including elements of Realism and early Modernism. The brushwork and use of color demonstrate Boccioni's skill and his ability to convey the texture of fabrics and the subtlety of flesh tones. The painting's composition and the sitter's expression suggest a psychological depth, offering a glimpse into the sitter's character and state of mind.

This early work stands in contrast to Boccioni's later Futurist creations, which are characterized by a radical departure from traditional forms and a celebration of the dynamism of modern life. "Portrait of His Sister" remains an important piece in understanding the evolution of Boccioni's artistic oeuvre, as it provides insight into his formative years and his initial engagement with portraiture before his full embrace of Futurism's revolutionary aesthetic.

The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be a subject of study for scholars interested in the development of early 20th-century art and the personal history of Umberto Boccioni. Its significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its role as a document of the artist's early influences and his connection to his family before he became a leading proponent of one of the most avant-garde art movements of his time.
