The Workshop 1905

"The Workshop" is a 1905 etching by Scottish artist David Young Cameron (1865-1945). The artwork, executed in a characteristically dark and atmospheric style, portrays the interior of a workshop, likely Cameron's own studio, with glimpses of figures and objects through the windows. This evocative scene captures the artist's fascination with light and shadow and provides an intimate glimpse into the creative process. Cameron's use of etching, a technique that involves scratching lines into a metal plate, creates a distinctive texture and sense of depth in the image.
