Baroque volute
Study for wall decoration, first half of the 20th century
There is wisdom that is not learned from books; it is passed down in the workshop, from hand to hand, through sheets like this one.
This is a preparatory cartoon for wall decoration, executed in charcoal with white highlights on tracing paper, which belonged to a decorators' workshop active in the first half of the 20th century.
The strength of the line, the mastery of chiaroscuro, the paper marked by use and time: everything contributes to making this sheet not only a document of the highest craftsmanship, but an object that tells its own story.
It shows the typical flaws of a well-used piece, signs of wear, creases, small losses, which attest to its authenticity without compromising its beauty.
Mounted on a wooden panel with a sepia-colored metal box frame, ready to hang.
