Matteucci, Faenza", entirely made and modeled by hand by the artist . The torso has a truly rare sensuality, the most characteristic element that makes us consider it a work with a light futurist style is the hair, extremely stylized and soft in its lines, so much so as to leave one puzzled as to whether it is hair or a handkerchief covering the head blending with the woman's hair.
