After his formative years in Turin, where he attended the Academy of Fine Arts, in 1902 Cominetti moved with his brother Gian Maria to Genoa, where he frequented Plinio Nomellini and established himself as one of the main interpreters of the emerging Symbolist tendencies. In 1909, the year of his participation in the Salon d'Automne, he moved with his brother to Paris and came into contact with avant-garde circles. His closeness to Futurism dates back to this period, although his adhesion to the movement was rejected by Umberto Boccioni. Oil on canvas depicting three figures in a playful attitude; the two figures in the foreground hold a badminton racket in their right hand.
