From the Collection of Leslie Rippner, Charlotte, North Carolina Piero Fornasetti said that Lina Cavalieri’s face was an archetype – a quintessentially beautiful and classic image, like a Greek statue. Lina was a turn-of-the-20th-century opera singer who became known as the "most beautiful woman in the world", and Fornasetti used her image in over 350 designs.
Good condition; some of the boxes with some wear to the edges.
