Le Paveur (The Road Paver) is a 1775 ink by Giovanni David, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts a man dressed in a dark jacket and white apron, holding a hat in one hand and a tool in the other. He stands on a cobblestone street, with a bucket and tools behind him. The scene is set against a stone wall backdrop. The man's attire and tools suggest he is a road paver, engaged in his daily work. The image conveys a sense of industriousness and attention to detail. This etching, characteristic of the Romanticism movement, invites viewers to explore the works of artist David, Giovanni.
