A man standing next to a tailor at work 1662

This 1662 drawing by Esaias Boursse depicts a tailor at work, seated and meticulously sewing a garment. Standing next to him is a man, likely a customer, clad in simple robes. The artist's precise lines and detailed rendering of the figures' postures and clothing capture the quiet intensity of the scene. The composition is notable for its balance between the seated tailor and the standing figure, creating a visual dialogue between them.
