About the painting
A study of a carpenter, wearing a black hat and apron over a dark brown coat and breeches with a red sash and holding a plank of wood in his right hand, and a basket and saw over the crook of his left elbow. This work is part of an album of fifty-three sketches by Carlevarijs which includes figures and objects he appears to have painted in the open air in preparation for insertion into formal compositions There is a pen and wash study for this same 'falegname' figure in the Collezione Salamon, Milan, possibly for a series of engravings of different professions, and the same figure reappears in the left foreground The Molo and the Piazzetta, Looking West now in a private collection.
