A large mid-century surrealist gouache painting on paper depicting masked Commedia dell’arte figures dancing in a public square. The artwork strongly reflects the Scuola Metafisica (Metaphysical Art) style of Giorgio de Chirico, featuring dramatic forced perspective, long casting shadows, and a theatrical, stage-set composition rendered in a high-contrast palette of terracotta, charcoal black, and stark white highlights. Signed and dated ’57 lower right. Dimensions: 19.5 x 29 inches framed to 30 x 39 inches.
