Schoenmaker in zijn werkplaats 1686 - 1696

"Schoenmaker in zijn werkplaats" is an etching created by Pieter van den Berge in 1686-1696. The artwork depicts a shoemaker seated in his workshop, working on a shoe, while his wife sits in the background and attends to a child. This genre scene, typical of Dutch Golden Age art, offers a glimpse into the everyday life of a cobbler. The detailed portrayal of the workshop, including tools and unfinished shoes, speaks to the artist's interest in realism and his keen observation of the world around him. Van den Berge's etching is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
