AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This untitled serigraph (silkscreen) by Ernesto Piccolo dates from 1980 and represents a refined example of late 20th-century figurative expression rendered through graphic media.

Printed on high-quality Fabriano Rosaspina paper, the work combines delicate drawing with expressive color application. The composition centers on a softly modeled female figure, emerging from a richly textured environment of greens, blacks, ochres, and muted blues. The contrast between the serene, almost ethereal face and the energetic, layered background creates a poetic tension that is both intimate and contemplative.

Piccolo’s handling of the serigraph technique allows for subtle tonal transitions while preserving the gestural quality of the original image. The result is a work that feels painterly despite its graphic nature, emphasizing emotion, atmosphere, and quiet introspection.

Technique: Silkscreen / Serigraph

Paper: Fabriano Rosaspina

Edition: Hand-signed and numbered 28/90

Dimensions: 70 × 50 cm

Period: 1980–1989

Condition: Excellent / as new

This piece is ideal for collectors of European graphic art, figurative works, or limited-edition prints from the 1980s. Its balanced scale and timeless subject make it suitable for both private collections and elegant interior settings.

A beautiful, well-preserved work that offers both artistic sensitivity and collectible value.
