About the Item

‘Natura morta con figurina smarrita” (Still Life with a Lost Figurine), an unpublished work on the market, signed Mario Tozzi top right. It represents one of the works from the period 1938-44, dedicated to still lifes where the Master usually depicted shells, glasses, keys, stones and usually, in the background, figurines. In this work, a lost figurine, almost looking for protection. The work was presented in Rome in room VI of the 4th Quadriennale d'Arte Nazionale in 1943 where Mario Tozzi presented nine oil paintings together with Maccari, De Pisis and a young Guttuso. Natura morta con figurina smarrita (Still Life with a Lost Figurine) can be found in the Mario Tozzi Archive under number 2464 and in the General Catalogue. This artwork, never before on the market, comes from an important private collection and is beautified by an impressive antique frame in wood, in almost perfect condition. Mario Tozzi (30 October 1895 – 8 September 1979) was an Italian painter. He was awarded the Legion of Honour by the French government.
