About the piece
Painted in 1758 by Matthias de Visch, this allegorical work portrays the silversmith's trade through the whimsical lens of industrious putti. While cherubs handle delicate silver vessels and tools in the foreground, adult figures toil in a shadowy forge behind them, creating a rich contrast between divine inspiration and the physical labor of the craft.
