Modern painting signed by Cesarina Mottironi, oil on cardboard, 20th century.

Oil on cardboard. Signed at the bottom right. On the back is a label with another signature, the address of her studio at Via Monti 54 in Milan, and the title. Cesara Mottironi was particularly active in promoting the dissemination of painting among women during the interwar years. Cesara, known as Cesarina Mottironi, was an artist who dedicated a large part of her time to teaching oil and watercolour painting, creating and developing specialised schools. Her studio on Via Vincenzo Monti was always open to those who wanted to learn to paint. She was a strong advocate for women's emancipation: to our knowledge, her students were almost all women, whom she often introduced to the public and critics. Mottironi also lived and worked extensively in Camogli, capturing several views and panoramas of Liguria, such as the one presented here. The work is displayed in a frame.
