Gaetano Zompini

1753

This is a drawing of a chimney sweep at work. The figure is wearing a hat and coat, leaning forward and holding a large brush over his shoulder. In the background, there is a building that suggests an urban setting. The brush's bristles are detailed, and the image includes architectural details of the surrounding buildings. Another figure is visible on a rooftop in the background. The drawing uses shading and line work to convey texture and depth.
