About the piece
Painted by Ferdinand Hodler in 1879, this scene depicts a watchmaker's workshop in Madrid. The composition is centered around a large window that floods the room with natural light, highlighting the men at their benches and providing a view of the city's towers beyond. This early work by Hodler demonstrates a masterful approach to realism and the atmospheric quality of light in interior spaces.
