Painter, Italian, 1890 - 1964

This painting shows several shapes similar to bottles and blocks, placed closely together in two rows on a flat surface. The colors are muted and earthy, with beige, brown, and gray tones, along with a touch of pale yellow on one of the blocks. The objects are centrally positioned, with taller bottles in the rear and shorter cylindrical and rectangular shapes in front. The background behind them is tan and the surface below is gray.
