Hand signed in pencil on the lower right with an annotation of 53/110 on the lower left. It reflects Mosca’s modern realist approach, using economy of line to convey gesture, motion, and human interaction. The scene depicts three male figures: one upright and giving a thumbs-up, another slightly turned away, and a third bent over repairing or adjusting a bicycle. The simplicity of the forms and the absence of background detail focus the viewer's attention on the figures’ postures and implied narrative. This print showcases Mosca’s skilled draftsmanship and his sensitivity to human form and everyday subjects. From a private collection. Dimensions: 22"h x 17"w x 1"d (framed). In good condition.
