Original illustration made by Pratt for the first part of the short story "Il Matrimonio," published in the newspaper La Nuova Venezia on July 20, 1986, and republished on the same days in other Espresso Group newspapers: Mattino di Padova and Tribuna di Treviso. This watercolor was made by Pratt to accompany a short story written by his friend from his Argentine days, Alberto Ongaro. This is a rare example of the master from Malamocco lending his face to one of his characters, creating a true self-portrait, wearing a coat that brings to mind the adventures of his Corto Maltese. Small traces of foxing in the margins. Signed.
