This etching, titled Lo Scoparo, captures a street sweeper carrying his tools of trade. The figure is rendered with the clean, precise lines characteristic of Pinelli's graphic work. He wears a simple hat and rustic clothing, his posture suggesting the weight of the large broom and the bundles of material he carries across his back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePinelli often focused on the inhabitants of Rome and the surrounding Campagna. His work provides a visual record of the social strata of his time, from the nobility to the working classes. In this composition, the figure occupies the foreground, set against a sparse, open background that suggests the outskirts of the city. The artist employs a clear, linear style, prioritising the silhouette and the texture of the objects over complex shading or atmospheric effects. The cross-hatching on the broom and the bundles demonstrates his technical control over the etching needle, creating a sense of volume and material density.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print belongs to a broader series of works by Pinelli that catalogue the costumes and occupations of the Roman people. By isolating the subject against a minimal backdrop, the artist directs the viewer's attention to the specific tools and attire associated with this particular trade. The work reflects a period interest in ethnographic observation and the romanticisation of the common man. It remains a valuable historical document for those interested in the social history of Rome and the development of Italian printmaking in the early nineteenth century. The clarity of the composition makes it a suitable choice for those who appreciate historical genre studies and the disciplined aesthetic of Neoclassical graphic art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/tomb-of-the-three-curatii-brothers-in-albano-giovanni-battista-piranesi\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eTomb of the Three Curatii Brothers in Albano - Giovanni Battista Piranesi — Giovanni Battista Piranesi\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/fountain-of-the-tortoises-in-the-piazza-of-the-tortoises-domenico-amici\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eFountain of the Tortoises in the Piazza of the Tortoises - Domenico Amici — Domenico Amici\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bartolomeo Pinelli","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58485725921615,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58528058736975,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58528058769743,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58528058802511,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58528058835279,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58528058868047,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58528058900815,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58528058933583,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58528058966351,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58528058999119,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58528059031887,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58528059064655,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Lo-Scoparo-The-Sweeper-_Poster_CompositorV1_1786368366256.jpg?v=1786845046","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/lo-scoparo-the-sweeper-bartolomeo-pinelli","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
