Abstract
The near-infrared observations of a complete hard X-ray selected sample of AGN, mainly optically classified as Seyfert 1s, are analysed and interpreted. Here, the derived non-stellar/stellar fractions are used to subtract the stellar contribution present in small nuclear apertures. The evidence for the presence of an underlying non-thermal power law, modified by dust reddening, as the origin of the non-stellar near-infrared component is examied. A correlation between the hard X-ray and near-infrared luminosities is found
