Andreas Bretschneider III

This is a drawing of a workshop scene with craftsmen sculpting busts or heads. They are gathered around a table with tools like hammers and chisels. One craftsman is chiseling a head on a platform, with baskets of finished sculptures nearby. The detailed etching technique adds depth to the scene.
