Tribute to Massimo Campigli: Study of Figures

Pencil and ink drawing on graph paper depicting a composition of stylized frontal figures, tribute to Massimo Campigli (Berlin 1895 – Saint-Tropez 1971). The work features the artist’s characteristic iconographic vocabulary: archaic faces inspired by Etruscan art and Fayum portraits, hieratic figures with large almond-shaped eyes and simplified features. Signed lower left. The medium—squared notebook paper—suggests a preparatory study or impromptu sketch rather than a work intended for the market. Fair condition with foxing and yellowing typical of inexpensive paper.
