PROVENANCE
From an Important Private Collection, Mumbai
This Limited Edition pen by Italy‒based Visconti is a tribute to Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Carl Jung, and specifically,
his interest in alchemy. According to Jung, alchemy had a dual nature, comprising both scientific and mystical aspects. This is
reflected in the dual construction of the present lot, which is divided into two parts and has two nibs.
