Interior of a Tailor's Workshop

Inside this tailor’s workshop, three men sew by a window and a woman tends to the fire, winding tools by her side. As if interrupted from his work, the older man at the centre looks out at us. The modest interior is teeming with objects, like cloth scraps and needles, as well as decorative items and art. A map hangs above the fireplace and an oil painting is displayed prominently by the window. A booming art market made such things widely available to the Dutch middle class.
