Artist, Italian, 1925 - 2006

The image shows an illustration of a man seated casually with his legs crossed and arms resting on a table. The man has sharp facial features, including pronounced cheekbones, a chiseled nose, and a serious expression. He has tidy, swept-back hair and is wearing a suit jacket with buttons on the cuffs. He holds a cigarette in one hand and wears a ring on his pinky finger. A wine glass is on the table in the foreground. The background features simple lines suggesting an interior space, possibly a bar or café.
