Documentation: Certificate of authenticity issued by the Galleria d'Arte Piero Della Francesca, Arezzo. Exceptional condition, virtually untouched, full margins, vivid colors, never framed.

Beautiful original silkscreen by Franz Borghese, depicting one of his most beloved subjects, the smokers, but also other characters close to him, such as the dog, also depicted with a cigar between its jaws. Legendary artist, endowed with explosive creativity; to define Franz Borghese, it suffices to remember that in the 1990s, Italy's most renowned art magazine crowned him 'the most loved by Italians' after conducting a survey among readers that saw him surpass artists like Schifano, Possenti, Guttuso, Maccari. A true master, sadly gone too soon.

Our gallery collaborated directly with Franz Borghese, organizing a memorable solo exhibition for him in 1985.
