Subject
Engine oil

Description:
In his quest to demonstrate the role of lubrication, Cappiello imagines a piston, a team of horses emerging from the oil can, or a lion coming out of the can. It is this last version that he will choose for the sketch (see black and white photo). The idea of the team of horses will be retained and used in 1937 for the decorative panel "La Force Motrice"
