About the piece

Painted in 1822 by François Desmoulins, this work captures the interior of the prestigious workshop of Jean-Baptiste-Claude Odiot on rue Saint-Honoré in Paris. The composition uses dramatic chiaroscuro to highlight rows of classical plaster busts and metalwork vessels on high shelves, while the shadows reveal the sturdy workbenches and specialized tools of the goldsmith's trade.
