The Cobbler

Abraham Bosse

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an interior setting. Footwear is displayed in the foreground, while figures engage in various activities like stitching and discussing at a counter. A table with ornate detailing is at the center left, and a lattice structure separates the workspace from a background area with more footwear and possibly earthenware items. The border is decorated, suggesting a historical or allegorical context.
