The Steel Bucket 

"The Steel Bucket" is an etching by American artist Salvatore Pinto (1905-1966). The artwork depicts a busy scene of a crane lifting a large steel bucket, presumably for construction purposes, in a bustling city environment. This depiction of industrial labor was a popular subject among American realist artists of the early 20th century, highlighting the economic and societal shifts occurring at the time. Pinto's etching captures the energy and scale of the urban landscape, with its detailed lines and hatching, creating a sense of depth and movement.
