Color lithograph realized by Enrico Benaglia. Artist proof, hand signed lower right. Excellent condition. Italian painter and printmaker Enrico Benaglia is celebrated for his whimsical, poetic imagery that blends dreamlike narratives with everyday objects. In this etching, a simple wooden chair becomes the stage for fantasy: on its seat rests a cushion embroidered with playful figures, including a winged human form, rendered with childlike immediacy. Behind it, an oversized pair of scissors leans against the wall, their exaggerated presence imbuing the domestic space with surreal tension. The delicate tones of ochre, sienna, and muted plum create a warm yet slightly unsettling atmosphere, exemplifying Benaglia’s ability to merge tenderness with irony. Marked as an artist’s proof (p.a.), this impression carries additional rarity beyond the numbered edition. A striking example of Benaglia’s surreal, narrative-driven printmaking, this work encapsulates his ability to elevate the ordinary into the realm of imagination. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no official proof of authenticity, however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution
