Un ritratto (A. M. in giardino), 1984

Two valets hold down the copy of an antique print representing a family home in Spoleto, which at the same time serves as a sedan for the female figure in period costume added to the lower part of the image. On this print a garland of flowers drawn in pencil intersects the gaze of the woman sitting, while lower down, outside the rectangle of the print, a drawing disperses a few leaves that fall freely, followed after by the laurel leaves scattered on the wall. Analogous with Ida e Alessandra, 1984 (GPO-0535) and Valentina delle rose, 1984 (GPO-0536) the work is a portrait-homage offered by the artist to a female friend.
