Kloosterkeuken 1908

"Kloosterkeuken" (1908) is a small etching by Austrian artist Ferdinand Schmutzer (1870–1928). The print depicts a scene from a monastery kitchen, with two figures working at a stone counter, pots hanging from a rack above. The scene is rendered in a dark, atmospheric style, typical of Schmutzer's work, giving the viewer a glimpse into the quiet, daily life of a monastery kitchen. The etching is signed by the artist and measures just 206 mm in height by 190 mm in width.
