The sphere and the streaks of color are very thick, the paint nearly 4 millimeters thick; rather than a painting, it almost resembles a bas-relief. The rest of the background, however, is completely smooth and without any depth. The painting is signed "Damioli" on the lower right, the signature of Aldo Damioli (Milan, 1952), a Milanese painter famous for his city views. Like all artists, he went through various stylistic phases in his career, and our painting likely dates back to a period prior to his views.
