Spritz

The Spritz is an Ana Inciardi mini print centered on a classic aperitivo cocktail rendered in warm orange-red tones against a pale gray background. The stemmed wine glass is filled with ice cubes and a deep amber-orange liquid, with a striped red and white straw angled across the composition. A halved orange slice rests on the rim, its segments rendered in yellow and gold.

The glass itself is drawn in soft gray, giving the stem and base a sketched, almost ghostly quality that contrasts with the vivid color of the drink above. The Aperol Spritz is an Italian cocktail traditionally made with Aperol, prosecco, and a splash of soda, served over ice with an orange garnish. It became a symbol of Italian aperitivo culture and has been widely embraced as a warm-weather drink across Europe and beyond.

Collectors are drawn to this print for its cheerful, unpretentious subject and the way Inciardi captures something genuinely familiar. The layered colors feel handmade and considered without being fussy, and the slight imprecision of the printmaking process gives the glass a texture that printed photography never could. This print fits naturally among her other food prints, sitting alongside subjects like coffee, pastries, and other edible pleasures that run throughout her catalog.

Collectors who gravitate toward her drink and food subjects often group the Spritz with her other culinary pieces, building small themed arrangements that reflect everyday pleasures rendered with real graphic confidence.
