Edition of 120. This color lithograph by Francesco Paolo Delle Noci depicts two elegant, stylized figures facing one another in a mysterious, theatrical setting. Rendered in crisp black-and-white linework with dotted shading, the figures resemble fantasy characters or masked performers, dressed in richly patterned garments that evoke armor, costume, and decorative ceremonial dress. Between them appear circular masks or medallions with human faces, reinforcing the work’s theme of identity, disguise, and symbolic exchange. The background is dominated by a deep burgundy-red field, while dramatic wave-like black and blue forms rise behind the characters, creating an atmosphere that feels both marine and surreal. The overall composition combines mythology, dream imagery, and graphic precision, typical of Delle Noci’s imaginative visual language. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
