Description from the seller
**Guido Crepax (1933–2003) – Il Tempo (Untitled)**
Original etching by Guido Crepax, one of the most important figures in Italian comic art and twentieth-century illustration, celebrated for creating Valentina.
The composition features an evocative interplay of figurative and symbolic elements: a male face, clock dials, mechanisms and ornamental details, arranged in the artist’s distinctive graphic style.
The theme of time, suggested by the recurring presence of clocks, gives the image an evocative and surreal quality, in which precise drawing is combined with the narrative imagination typical of Crepax’s visual universe.
**A circular stamp bearing the name GUIDO CREPAX is present on the front**, clearly visible in the photograph.
The title *Il Tempo* is descriptive and assigned by the seller; the work is catalogued as *Untitled*.
