Art Deco Putto with fruit basket.

Putto with fruit basket.
Art Deco period
Around 1915-20.
A painting on canvas, probably a sketch.
The child is holding a fruit basket with peaches in very bright orange tones.
Perhaps an allegory of the summer months.
The style and technique very close to the style of Galileo Chini. Part of the painting appears unfinished: the frame representing flowers.
This is probably due to the fact that this is a preparatory drawing.
According to oral tradition, this painting comes from a pharmacy in the city of Lucca. But we have not had the opportunity to verify it.
