About the piece
Created around 1630 by an artist of the Neapolitan school, this striking oil painting exemplifies the intense realism and shadow-play popularized by Caravaggio. The subject, a locksmith, is caught in a moment of concentration, his weary expression and weathered hands brought to life against a deep, atmospheric background.
