'Elegant Woman in an Interior' by Gaetano Bocchetti (circa 1960s)

'Elegant Woman in an Interior', oil on panel (circa 1960s), by Gaetano Bocchetti. This painting captures its subject, an elegantly presented woman in her night clothes and indoor slippers glancing towards the viewer with a sense of serene contentedness. Like many of the artist's subjects, she is the strong, independent type of person, happily single and comfortable on her own. The work is newly framed with a French-style linen slip. The artwork is in good overall condition. Signed: 'G Bocchetti' in the lower left hand. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying this listing. Upon request a video of this artwork will be provided.

About the Artist: Gaetano Bocchetti (1888-1990) from Naples, Italy, dropped out of medical school after being accepted to the Neapolitan School of Fine Arts. Bocchetti left a tremendous body of work: lush Italian landscapes, still-lifes and intimate portraits of people on their own, mostly women. Bocchetti's frescoes grace the walls of churches and his paintings hang in museums and in private international collections that periodically come to auction at the major houses. Bocchetti died in 1990 having lived until he was 102.
