This print, created between 1850 and 1881 by Dutch artist Antoine Franciscus Cornelis Hoffmann, depicts four different craftspeople at work: a carpenter, a bricklayer, a blacksmith, and a shoemaker. Each scene is presented in a simple, illustrative style, with the tools and materials of each trade clearly visible. The print is part of a larger series, *Prenten-Magazijn voor de Jeugd*, and is thought to have been designed for children's education, showcasing the different trades and encouraging curiosity about the world of work. The artwork is currently located in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
