Giorgio De Chirico (1888-1978) - Cavallino Bianco - Colorato a Mano

The work is hand-colored by Giorgio de Chirico, as it was a preparatory sheet for printing the lithographic series.

The work is authenticated by the Archivio Caprini, which was de Chirico's historical printer and the reference figure in Italy for authenticating the master's graphic works.

The work is published in the second volume of the catalog raisonné of Giorgio de Chirico's graphics on page 146.

The base of the work is lithography, then the master of metaphysics hand-touched the piece to test the color rendering; the work should be considered a monotype.

On the sheet appear the inscriptions "Colorata a mano dall'autore", "campione per eseguire le litografie" and the publication page to attest to the importance of this subject.

The conditions are good; the sheet is kept in good conservation condition, consistent with its age.

The provenance of the work is the Galleria Grafica Manzoni, which issues its authenticity certificate from the Archivio Caprini.
