About the piece
Created in 1880 by Danish master Peder Severin Krøyer, this oil painting captures the labor of village hatmakers in Italy. The composition is defined by its masterful chiaroscuro, where a brilliant beam of sunlight pierces the dark workshop, highlighting the textures of the wooden bench and the concentration of the figures at work.
