The painting "Sul Cavalletto" by Lorenzo Delleani, signed at the top left and dated 1892, represents an interior scene with an intimate and evocative character.
The work shows an artistic environment with an easel in the foreground on which a framed canvas is placed, probably in the process of being worked on. The brushwork is fluid and impressionistic, with warm colors and deep shadows that evoke a collected and mysterious atmosphere.
On the back of the painting there are labels that testify to the passage of the work through various Turin galleries:
Fogliato Gallery
Berman Gallery
Bottisio Gallery
