Description from the seller

Female nude Tormento in glazed ceramic – Le Bertetti, Turin, Italy – ca. 1940-1950

Professionally shipped – more than 850 five-star reviews worldwide.

Glazed ceramic figurine of a female nude, produced by Le Bertetti in Turin, Italy, in the postwar period. The figure is depicted seated, with the upper body leaned back and one arm raised. The lower body is partially covered by a white draped cloth with a light pink tint.

The glaze is evenly applied in skin-tone hues, combined with white. The underside is marked with the title Tormento, the name Le Bertetti, “Torino – Made in Italy” and a model number.

The low production number points to early production within the workshop, possibly created under the artistic direction of Clelia Bertetti
