Volterran Landscape
1960

An abstract painting featuring a complex, layered composition with a blend of earthy and blue tones. The central figure appears to be a sculpted face, possibly reminiscent of classical art, surrounded by what could be interpreted as architectural forms or fragmented objects. The artwork has a textured surface with visible brushstrokes and markings that contribute to its depth and enigmatic quality.
