Timmerman 1814 - 1879

This 19th-century engraving by Dutch artist David van der Kellen depicts a carpenter holding a saw in his workshop. "Timmerman," meaning "carpenter" in Dutch, is framed in an oval shape, focusing on the subject. The intricate details of the carpenter's tools and the workshop setting highlight the craftsmanship and everyday life of the 19th-century worker. This work, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates van der Kellen's skill in capturing realistic details through the medium of engraving.
