Grape Crusher c. 1937

"Grape Crusher," a drawing by Kurt Melzer, showcases a detailed depiction of a wooden grape crusher, likely a tool used in a traditional winery or vineyard. Melzer's meticulous attention to detail renders the wooden construction, including the handles, the crushing wheel, and the associated crank. This work, created around 1937, exemplifies Melzer's fascination with the tools and processes of rural life, serving as a reminder of the craftsmanship and ingenuity involved in wine production.
