Liliana Rago (XX) - "Vitrail" - Artist's Proof (A.P.) - 1986 Description / Description of the lot Superb original print by the artist Liliana Rago, titled "Vitrail" (Stained Glass), created in 1986. This abstract work captivates the eye with its dynamic, geometric composition. Wide bands of a deep brick red intersect with slender beams of a luminous yellow, evoking the metallic structure and the facets of light of a stained-glass window.
