Lorenza by Ruggero Gamberini  Image: One of Ruggero Gamberini’s earliest surviving works, “Lorenza” is an expressive portrait of his daughter painted in 1966. Rich in emotional texture, the composition blends figuration with abstract brushwork, where the sitter’s form appears to emerge and dissolve within gestural sweeps of grey, red and green. The painting captures a sense of psychological depth through its raw, dynamic surface.

Signed and dated on the canvas, the work reflects Gamberini’s formative exploration of expressionism and post-war figuration.
