Original artwork description:

Ink drawing on paper depicting the portrait of Ettore Bastianini (Siena, September 24, 1922 – Sirmione, January 25, 1967), an Italian baritone whose intensity and emotional depth I wanted to capture, evoking his passionate soul with vibrant strokes. He boasted the most authentic timbre and vocal depth of a Verdi baritone, as he was gifted with a particularly wide range, and it was precisely in the noble and sustained parts of Giuseppe Verdi that he achieved his most famous interpretations. Each line is inspired by the strength and solemnity of Giuseppe Verdi's world, paying homage to that era with realism and finesse. It will bring a vibrant energy charged with history into your home.
