The Brescian artist Eliodoro Coccoli was not by vocation an easel painter, but rather established himself primarily as an interior and exterior decorator, creating secular frescoes for several Lombard villas and sacred subjects for numerous churches. His canvases are very few and mostly date from before 1922, the year in which his decorative output greatly expanded, but numerous sketches and several preparatory canvases for frescoes remain. This grape harvest scene may also be part of this type of production, although it is defined and detailed in its details. Coccoli's style cannot be traced to any particular movement; rather, he is considered an expert in eclecticism: he selects the figurative repertoire best suited to the client's needs, adapting his style to the subject and the architectural characteristics of the location. Furthermore, it demonstrates a refined, at times virtuosic, technical expertise. The work is presented in a frame. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
