Interieur met schoenmaker en vrouw bij haard c. 1680 - 1690

This etching, *Interieur met schoenmaker en vrouw bij haard*, created by Pierce Tempest between 1680 and 1690, depicts a cobbler working in his shop. The cobbler sits at his workbench, intently working on a shoe, while a woman stands behind him. The scene is likely set in a small shop, indicated by the presence of a wooden barrel and a fireplace in the background. Tempest's depiction of the humble daily life of a cobbler is a classic example of genre painting.
