Rare lithograph made in 1957 in a limited edition, under the supervision and care of the artist Giorgio Morandi himself, after an engraving from 1933.
The result was a series of very high quality lithographs, identical to the etchings for size and details, as well as for the aesthetic aspect.
The date of completion of the artworks and the total edition and specific number are on the colophon: January 21, 1957.

Each artwork was contained in a folder made of refined laid paper.
Top: the progressive number of the plate, in chronological order;
. the title of the artwork;
. the year the etching was made;
. the size of the image, with any notes (for example if the corners are rounded);
. the etching technique, where the plate is located (usually at the Calcografia Nazionale in Rome), and if the plate is signed and/or dated;
Bottom: the states with any editions and/or known copies.
Excellent condition.
