Footnote:

Born in 1961, Lavrenty Bruni descends from a distinguished line of artists of Swiss-Italian origin. He takes inspiration from a variety of subjects, most prominently dance and ballet, and his work often features flowers and female figures treated in an impressionistic style. Bruni’s favourite media are oil, watercolour and crayon. He creates imposing, large-scale artworks that have seen a recent surge in popularity at auction; his trademark monumental flower paintings are especially popular. This sale provides a rare opportunity to acquire one of his monumental works in crayon.
