Description from the seller
The painting depicts a scene of a farrier absorbed in his work. The work, signed Antonio Asturi (1904-1986E)

Frame: Contemporary gilded wood frame with matting
Details of the Work:
Subject: Intense scene: a man, a farrier, crouched, absorbed in his work.
The stroke is rapid, nervous, and expressive, executed in black and white with energetic brushstrokes that enhance the sense of movement. The barely defined figures convey a singular atmosphere.
Recall the Expressionist style where more than the detail, the emotional intensity of the scene counts.
The classical gilded frame creates an interesting contrast with the raw strength of the drawing.

Frame: The painting is presented in a leaf-gilded frame, with a raised relief decoration that enhances its preciousness and makes it immediately ready to hang. Signs of time on the frame should be considered part of the object's authenticity and history.
