More about Artisan at Work in Stone-Carving Workshop

A full shot of a workshop, a stone-carving artisan in a brown apron and safety glasses actively chiseling a white stone sculpture of a body from the waist up. His dark, curly hair and beard are visible. In the foreground, a large, partially sculpted white marble torso of a male figure sits on a wooden stand. To the left, a large arched window with brickwork framing illuminates the space. Several unfinished marble sculptures, including busts and a detailed carved hand emerging from a block, are scattered around the workshop on wooden tables and the stone-covered floor. Tools for sculpting are hanging neatly on a wooden board on the back stone-wall, to the right of the window. On the right, wooden shelves hold various smaller busts and framed sketches. The floor is covered with stone chips and dust. Blocks of stone are also visible, some with writing such as "ICARRARA PESTCI" and "TARRINO". The overall atmosphere is that of an active, traditional sculptor's studio.
