Atelieret 1889

"Atelieret" is a 1889 etching by Danish artist Frans Schwartz. The artwork, a scene from an artist's studio, is notable for its detail and use of light and shadow. An easel with canvases is positioned on the right side of the composition, while a spinning wheel, a symbol of industry and craftsmanship, sits on the left, illuminated by a natural light source streaming through the window. The subject matter of this etching reflects Schwartz's interest in capturing the everyday life of artists and artisans, portraying the intimate and often overlooked aspects of creative work. The artwork is housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
