AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare and lively original drawing by Emilio Notte, created with a mixed technique of ink and light watercolor touches, depicting an interior scene animated by multiple figures in dialogue and movement.
The work demonstrates the artist's remarkable narrative ability: the figures, outlined with a quick but confident stroke, are captured in a moment of everyday, almost theatrical interaction. The loose and synthetic brushwork, combined with essential chromatic touches, reveals Notte's expressive maturity and his constant interest in modern life and the scene's dynamism, central themes in his work.
Within the intimate dimension of the sheet, the drawing possesses a strong compositional energy: the inclined postures, accentuated gestures, and spatial construction suggest depth and movement, recalling the artist's futurist training, reinterpreted in a more figurative key.
The artwork is presented in an antique frame in gilded wood, with a green mat, consistent in style and period, and suitable for collection presentation.
Condition: good, with slight signs of aging on the paper and the frame, consistent with the age of the work.
Provenance: private collection.

Professional packaging and tracked shipping.
