Inkwell c. 1938

"Inkwell" is a graphite drawing by Italian artist Giacinto Capelli, created around 1938. The artwork depicts a simple inkwell, rendered with meticulous detail and a focus on the object's form. The inkwell's intricate patterns, including a central starburst surrounded by diamond-shaped motifs, are highlighted through subtle shading. This minimalist composition emphasizes the beauty of everyday objects, characteristic of Capelli's later work.
