Giovanni Omiccioli (1901-1975) - Falegname in bottega

*GIOVANNI OMICCIOLI (Rome 1901 - 1978) - "Artigiano in bottega" - 1946*

*Descrizione opera:*

Beautiful original ink drawing on laid paper, depicting a carpenter seated in his workshop, caught in a moment of pause from work.

The artist describes with a few essential and nervous lines the working environment: behind the figure you can recognise 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 wandered the popular workshops of Trastevere and Testaccio to portray the world of work.
