Oil (mixed) on canvas. Signed and dated lower right. Further signature, title, technique and declaration of authenticity on the back. Mario Cortiello, a Neapolitan painter who was a pupil of Gennaro Villani and later a friend and collaborator of Umberto Lilloni, participated with his own personal style in the renewal of Neapolitan painting, without departing from tradition. Endowed with fertile invention and remarkable representative capacity, he left behind a rich and varied production. Landscape or urban views are recurring in his production, populated by numerous figures, often, in the Neapolitan setting, by Pulcinella, depicted floating on dreamlike backgrounds, so much so that he is defined as the Neapolitan Chagall. In this work, the artist depicts Pulcinella and women who entertain each other, according to the title, in encounters of erotic content, even if the playful and joyful dimension of such encounters prevails. The work is presented in a frame.
