Giovanni Omiccioli (1901-1975) - Falegname in bottega

*GIOVANNI OMICCIOLI (Rome 1901 - 1978) - "Artigiano in bottega" - 1946* *Description of the work:* Beautiful original ink drawing on shaped paper, depicting a carpenter sitting in his workshop, caught in a moment of work pause. The artist describes with a few essential and nervous lines the working environment: behind the figure you can recognize the tools of the trade - the saw hanging, the workbench, the square, the wrench. A work of great humanity and immediacy, typical of Omiccioli’s postwar production, when the artist went through the popular workshops of Trastevere and Testaccio to portray the world of labor. *Technical data:* - *Author:* Giovanni Omiccioli (1901-1978) - Roman School - *Title:* Artigiano / Falegname in bottega - *Technique:* Ink drawing on paper - *Signature:* Signed and dated at the bottom right - *Condition:* Good state of conservation, slight yellowing of the paper due to age, perfectly coherent with the period.
