Signed Portrait, circa 1990s
Gelatin silver print, signed “Monica Bellucci” in blue ink on the image
Dimensions: 7 7/8 × 9 7/8 in. (20 × 25 cm)

Description:
An elegant black-and-white portrait of the Italian actress Monica Bellucci, captured in an intimate seated pose against a floral-patterned background. The composition emphasizes Bellucci’s classic Mediterranean beauty and cinematic poise, rendered through soft lighting and tonal depth characteristic of late-20th-century European studio portraiture. The photograph is boldly signed by the actress in blue ink on the print surface.

Analysis:
This signed gelatin silver print represents a quintessential example of celebrity portrait photography from the 1990s—a period when Bellucci emerged as one of Europe’s most recognized screen icons. The balance between sensuality and composure mirrors the refined aesthetic of contemporary fashion and film portraiture. Collectors value such prints for their artistic quality, rarity of autograph, and documentation of an early phase in Bellucci’s international career.
