Pastels and white lead on cardboard. Signed and dated lower left; on the back there is a label from the Galleria d'Arte Moderna in Verona, which auctioned off numerous works by the artist that it owned. The work is accompanied by the purchase invoice from that auction in 1951, with the title of the work. Of humble origins, the Veronese artist Angelo Dall'Oca Bianca, even once he had become an established and appreciated artist, frequenting the Italian and international artistic and cultural environment, always maintained ties with his city, a constant source of inspiration for his artistic production, and the link with its poor; in 1939 he built the Villaggio Dall'Oca in Verona, for the benefit of the city's poor, and in 1941 he made a will, leaving all his money and his paintings to the city of Verona for welfare works. His painting was always of a purely veristic nature, influenced above all by contact with Giacomo Favretto. Framed work.
