Invention of the Human Eye - Original China Ink on Paper by A. Martini - 1935
By Alberto Martini
Located in Roma, IT
Invention of the Human Eye is an original modern artwork realized by Alberto Martini in 1935. Original China ink on paper. Wood frame included (cm 40 x 28.5); passepartout included (cm 37.5 x 26).

Thanks to the Marchesa Casati...
