Bovi

Bovi  is a superb original etching (on copper matrix) on watermarked " P.M.P. "  heavy paper, etched by the Italian macchiaiolo master Giovanni Fattori (Livorno, 1825 - Florence, 1908).

Our specimen is an original print with lifetime impression , with coeval circulation to the artist, datable in the last year of the Italian master and in the first years of the XX century (1900-1908).

Representing two white oxes, on a black background, this modern artwork is suggestively inked and with veils, presenting a lively and  incredible freshness of sign , which can be powerful and clean, detailed in the main subjects and abstract in the background pattern.

This is a splendid speciment, that suits you, of sure technical and artistic value, perfect for your private collection!
