The rare collection of 4 graphic works includes preparatory sketches and drafts for the creation of set designs for Eduardo De Filippo’s "Il Contratto". The premiere took place in 1967 at the San Ferdinando Theater in Naples. Although these are preparatory drawings, they showcase the remarkable artistic quality of Renato Guttuso, evident in his bold black lines that vividly depict tangible realities. This series reflects two key elements of Guttuso's art: his realism, characterized by detailed representation, and his precise exploration of volumes and geometric forms across multiple perspectives. Renato Guttuso, born in Bagheria in 1911 and passed away in Rome in 1987, was an artist deeply engaged in politics and social issues. His art stemmed from socialist ideals and indignation against social injustice and abuses of power. He was part of the Fronte Nuovo delle Arti group, developing a Realist-Expressionist style and creating his "social art." His most notable works of Neorealist art include masterpieces like Fucilazione in Campagna and Fuga dall’Etna. He was also elected senator twice, in 1976 and 1979, for the Italian Communist Party.

6037c_8ddcb50072e809c

This elegant ink and wash portrait depicts a young man with long curled hair, a stylized beret-like cap, and a dramatic ruffled collar. The subject’s idealized facial features and attire suggest a historicizing or theatrical theme, common in 19th-century academic and decorative portrait studies. The inscription “La Caille” below the figure may refer to a character name or a creative title rather than a specific identity. Likely originating from a European school of the early-to-mid 19th century, the drawing exemplifies the precision and romantic flair of portrait sketching from the period.

This caricature-like ink drawing from the 19th century presents a theatrical or comic portrait of a man wearing round spectacles and a ruffled bonnet tied with ribbons. His expression is serious yet exaggerated, and the ruff collar and costume suggest a burlesque or comedic figure, possibly from stage or satirical tradition. The drawing is rendered in brown ink with confident line work and areas of subtle wash for depth. It is inscribed faintly with the name “Rosetti,” though the attribution remains uncertain. The work is typical of the European School’s interest in theatrical character studies and humorous types.
