LUCIEN PHILLIPE MORETTI

 (Italian, born 1922)

LE JEUDI A LA MAISON

Watercolor, Bodycolor and India Ink on Arches Paper

13 x 16 Inches

Signed and Titled on Reverse

A charming  painting by this lyrical Modernist whose work is represented in the permanent collections of major museums worldwide. Moretti is known best for his figural works, which always convey the humor and vivacity of his subjects. Here, the artist gives us an intimate glimpse of the relaxed domestic life of these young girls. Moretti is well listed in all art references and his work is highly sought after at auction.
