The title at the top right. Claudio Bravo Camus was a Chilean painter who established himself above all for his compositions (particularly parcels) and hyper-realistic portraits, including those of eminent political figures. Rightly considered one of the greatest masters of hyperrealism, Claudio Bravo pursued photography in painting, but always starting from the direct observation of the objects themselves: 'The eyes see much more than the camera: half tones, shadows, minute changes in color and light', he declared. The portrait presented here , that of a well-known Moroccan football player, exudes a meticulous and mimetic realism, particularly in the man's gaze; it was created in the years in which the artist lived in Tangier, where he had taken refuge to escape the Franco dictatorship. It is presented in a frame. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
