Overview
The Visconti Van Gogh The Novel Reader rollerball pairs green resin and gold PVD trim in a tribute to the painting’s quietly provocative subject.
The Novel Reader, painted in November 1888, shows a young woman absorbed in a book. Its yellow cover identifies a modern novel, considered acceptable reading for men but not for women at the time. Visconti sees a challenge to convention in this quiet scene and draws on the painting’s intense colors for the pen.
Gold PVD trim complements the green resin. The set includes a bookmark, continuing the reading theme of the painting.
It takes an original Visconti rollerball refill and closes with a magnetic cap.
Made in Italy, it measures 140 mm capped and 157 mm with the cap posted, with a 127 mm-long barrel and a barrel width of 12 mm. It weighs 35 g with the cap and 20 g without the cap.
