Fine original lithograph by maestro Renato Guttuso, one of the greatest exponents of Italian neorealism. The work depicts a semi-reclining female nude, a recurring and central subject in the Sicilian artist's oeuvre.
The work is distinguished by its vigorous and incisive graphic line, typical of Guttuso's hand, capable of bestowing volume and sensuality upon the figure through a skillful use of hatching. The composition is characterized by a strong expressive tension that enhances the plasticity of the human body.
The print is numbered 40/125 at the bottom left, attesting to the limited edition, and bears the author's signature. The artwork is presented in a gilded wooden frame with a light passe-partout, which enhances its visual impact.
Attributable to the production of the second half of the 20th century, the lithograph represents an important testament to Guttuso's graphic mastery and his ability to investigate reality with a critical and passionate eye.
The state of conservation appears good, with signs of age that do not compromise the legibility or aesthetic value of the artwork.
