Vincenzo Raffaelli Rome, Via del Babuino 93 Performed between 1835 and 1845 ca. Round top in colored marbles "pebble" samples 200 ca. Diameter 91.2 cm = 3 Roman feet Thickness 5.2 cm = 2 Roman inches The round top in colored marble that we are dealing with, is a real "pebble" sample made of ancient "excavation" marble and modern marble, that is, used after the sixteenth century such as Malachite, Portoro or Napoleonic Orbicular Granite etc. The particularity and rarity of this table is given by the fact that the samples of marbles used, in addition to being rare then (and even more so today), were worked differently from all the other types of samples that were made between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The sample tables of this period generally have a frame in black marble from Belgium or other fine marbles, which contains all the rare colored samples committed.

Patty Raynes and son 1985 Acrylic and silkscreen ink on canvas 40.2 × 40.2 in., 102 × 102 cm Verso signed and dated 'Andy Warhol 85' Provenance: · Patty Raynes, USA (1985 directly acquired from the artist) · Private collection, USA (2022 acquired from the above) Background information: In 1985, Patty Raynes commissioned two works, this one with a yellow background and a second one with a white background. ‘Patty Raynes and Son’ from 1985 is one of a series of portraits in which Warhol no longer exclusively depicted global celebrities, but increasingly portrayed members of his social environment - individuals whose social position exerted a symbolic aura, even if they remained outside the pop-cultural canon. Patty Raynes came from a respected family of American industrialists, socialite and daughter of oil tycoon Marvin Davis, a fact that inevitably lends the work the character of a status portrait. Warhol, who was always concerned with the relationship between appearance and identity, addresses the portrait here as an expression of social affiliation. The subject, the depiction of a mother and child, is immediately reminiscent of the archetypal motifof the Madonna and Child. Warhol adopts this traditional pictorial form but transforms it into a contemporary icon: the sacred content isdisrupted by the screen-printing technique, giving the scene a cool, distanced character. · Patty Haynes and son emerge from this mature period in Warhol’s oeuvre, when the artist extended his repertoire of subjects to include his panoply of famous friends, artists, actors, and socialites. A collection idolizing the who’s who of New York, Warhol intended for the 40 by 40-inch series to be exhibited together in a “Portrait of Society,” a dream eventually realized at the artist’s retrospective Andy Warhol—From A to B and Back Again at the Whitney Museum in New York in 2018.
