Oil painting on canvas signed in the lower right corner. Further signature, title and dedication on the back. Saverio Terruso is a Mediterranean painter culturally and emotionally attached to Sicily - his land of origin. He counts a wide rage of paintings among his production that convey the authentic fascination for a rural world which is about to disappear definitively. His paintings depict mostly rural characters such as farmers wearing the coppola working or eating in a restaurant or melancholic women wearing their scarves during the daily activities or processions. His painting technique is characterized by dramatic tones with strong deforming tensions and very bright contrasting colors. The depicted subject is recurrent in the artist's production and depicts some preying figures during a procession and recalls the natal city of the artist, Monreale. In frame.

La pittura è l'arte che consiste nell'applicare dei pigmenti a un supporto come la carta, la tela, la seta, la ceramica, il legno, il vetro o un muro. Essendo i pigmenti essenzialmente solidi, è necessario utilizzare un legante, che li porti a uno stadio liquido, più fluido o più denso, e un collante, che permetta l'adesione duratura al supporto. Chi dipinge è detto pittore o pittrice. Il risultato è un'immagine che, a seconda delle intenzioni dell'autore, esprime la sua percezione del mondo o una libera associazione di forme o un qualsiasi altro significato, a seconda della sua creatività, del suo gusto estetico e di quello della società di cui fa parte.
