Edition of 120. This color lithograph by Francesco Paolo Delle Noci presents a solitary, fantastical figure seen from behind, dressed in an ornate, armor-like costume with exaggerated forms and sculptural details. The character raises a tall staff topped with a crescent-shaped emblem, suggesting a symbolic banner or ceremonial weapon. The figure stands beside a geometric block composed of stacked rectangular forms, punctuated by bold circular motifs, adding a strong architectural and abstract element to the scene. The background is divided into two tones of muted violet, creating a theatrical stage-like atmosphere, while dark, wave-shaped silhouettes frame the composition. with its sharp graphic linework, dotted shading, and surreal imagery, the work evokes a world of myth, ritual, and dreamlike allegory, typical of Delle Noci’s imaginative style.
