Offered for acquisition: an atmospheric and highly detailed work on paper (hand-colored etching or watercolor) of a craftsman at work in his studio.
This authentic snapshot from 1925 shows a ceramic painter decorating a vase with intense concentration.
The scene is full of characteristic details, such as the vases on the shelf, brushes in a small jar, and a classical bust on the cabinet.
A unique 'treasure' that, due to its age and artisanal subject matter, immediately adds atmosphere to a modern or classic interior (at home or in the office).
DETAILS
▫️ Subject: Ceramicist / Ceramic painter in his studio
▫️ Year: 1925 (fully hand-signed and dated '25 bottom right)

▫️ Dimensions: 50 cm (h) x 37 cm (w) including frame
