mixed media on cardboard
36,5 x 51 cm
Original illustration made by Ventura published in the book "Portrait of a Witch" by Mondadori in 1991. « The portraits that make up this book are not those of a hideous old woman nor those of a dark lady with a disturbing beauty, they are the portraits of an ordinary girl, of a peasant teenager with a raw and innocent beauty, captured in the humble and banal occupations of her daily life. What does she have to do with witches, as we are used to imagining them? With the portraits of Caterina Farcigli Piero Ventura intends to answer this question, visually showing what scholars, for a long time now, have obtained from the documents and minutes of witchcraft trials, but that the common mentality still struggles to accept. »
