About the piece
Painted in 1862 by Willem Linnig the Elder, this evocative work provides a window into the workshop of Geert de Winter. The composition masterfully balances the rough, industrious atmosphere of the forge with the refined elegance of the visiting patrons. Linnig’s attention to detail is particularly evident in the lustrous reflections on the copper pots and the varied textures of the figures' period attire.
