AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Gianni Dova (1925–1991)
“Surrealist Composition with Zoomorphic Figures”
Mixed media on paper
Period: 1970/1975
Dimensions: 90 x 71 cm framed, on canvas support
Painting: 60 x 40 cm
Signed work (signed Dova at the lower right)
A work with a striking Surrealist approach, characterized by biomorphic forms and stylized zoomorphic figures, arranged in a dynamic, fantastical composition. The image is distinguished by the balance between intense areas of color, defined outlines, and refined textural variations. The contrasts between black, red, light blue, and ochre tones lend the whole a particular expressive force.
Estimate: €1,500.00 / €2,500.00
In good condition
*** Note on the photographs
Some of the photographs accompanying this listing were taken professionally using controlled artificial lighting and a studio spotlight, to ensure the work is more clearly visible and allow closer examination of the painted surface, figurative details, and colors.
Note on the frame
The work comes with a classically styled carved and gilded wooden frame, featuring a continuous vegetal motif. The frame shows normal signs of age, minor wear, abrasions, and slight losses to the gilding, consistent with its age and use.
The frame is included with the work as a courtesy and does not constitute a substantial part of the sale. Any imperfections, losses, or damage to the frame, including damage caused during transport, shall therefore not constitute grounds for a claim or request for compensation in relation to the work.
Note regarding provenance and documentation
The work, bearing the signature Gianni Dova, comes from a private collection. At present, it is not accompanied by certificates of authenticity, archival documentation, proof of inclusion in the catalogue raisonné, or any other documentary references.
The work is therefore presented on the basis of its observable characteristics and the information currently available, without this constituting a definitive attestation of authenticity.
