Federico Castellón

Playboy of Ostia
1963

A print depicting a series of four nude female figures in motion, dancing in a line against a blue and peach background, with a solitary male figure standing to the right, looking on. The male figure appears fragmented, with a patchwork-like texture on his body and a geometrically patterned head. The artwork has a rough, textured quality, and there are handwritten inscriptions at the bottom.
