The Pisan artist was best known as an engraver (he taught engraving at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence) but he also devoted himself to painting, which he achieved with remarkable originality and extraordinary poetic depth, using colors that he himself defined as 'the colors of the soul'. Although he preferred popular subjects, flowers were also often the subject of his works, so much so that a section of a recent (2023) retrospective dedicated to him in Pisa was titled 'The colors and flowers of the soul'. The work is presented in a contemporary frame. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
