Scope and Content

The artwork shows a Carrozzeria Touring design study for a Superleggera coupé on the Alfa Romeo 1900 C chassis, rendered in warm golden‑brown tones with a black roof and the elegant curves, wire wheels, and refined proportions typical of mid‑1950s Italian styling. The Italian text translates to “Superleggera coupé 2+4 seats on Alfa Romeo 1900 C” and “Coupé 2+2 on Alfa Romeo 1900 SS chassis,” and the caption identifies it as a tempera illustration by Federico Formenti from 1955. The overall presentation reflects a formal coachbuilder’s figurino rather than a commercial poster.
