This is an original print by the Italo-Brazilian artist Alfredo Volpi, signed and numbered as copy 45/200. The work has been framed and has a size of 97 x 67 cm. Alfredo Volpi is considered one of the most important artists of the second generation of modernism in Brazil, known for his works featuring flags and houses.

The artist held his first solo exhibition at the age of 47, exhibiting at the May Salon and the 1st Exhibition of the Paulista Artistic Family in 1938, in the city of São Paulo. In the 1950s, Volpi evolved to geometric abstractionism, producing the famous series of flags and festival poles. He received the award for best national painter at the second São Paulo Biennial in 1953. Volpi participated in the first Concrete Art Exhibition as a member of the Santa Helena Group, although he did not officially participate in the group.
