Portrait of Marquis Sommi captures the refined yet dynamic essence of the avant-garde musician, whose charm and progressive spirit deeply influenced Lempicka during her 1925 stay in Milan. With the backdrop of his world—a world that introduced Lempicka to the Futurist circle—the marquis stands poised, his form embodying both intellectual intensity and artistic vitality. His striking presence, coupled with the elegant yet modern lines of his attire, subtly echoes the Futurist influences that began to permeate Lempicka’s work at the time. The sharp contours and vibrant energy of the portrait reveal not just the man himself, but also the avant-garde milieu in which he thrived, suggesting a moment where tradition meets the bold embrace of the future.
