The goldsmith 1916

"The Goldsmith" is a 1916 etching by Swedish artist Harald Sallberg (1895-1995). The artwork depicts a man, likely a goldsmith, examining a sculpture in his workshop. This etching, which Sallberg identified as a "Kopie efter Rembrandt", is a copy of a work by Rembrandt, likely "The Goldweigher". The use of dark tones and fine lines, characteristic of etching, creates a sense of depth and detail in the scene. Sallberg's work captures the meticulousness of the goldsmith's craft and the intimacy of his workspace.
