Figure descriptions
A cobbler sits in his workshop surrounded by other figures. He hands a small statue
of a crowned man to a customer on the
other side of his counter. The customer holds additional statues on a tray. A boy
sits on a bench in front of the cobbler. The boy
and the cobbler both wear aprons. There is a small tool set beside the boy and a larger
work bench beside the cobbler. Tools stand
on the cobbler’s bench and are scattered on the floor. Two women stand behind the
cobbler and look at his statue; one of the women
holds a baby. A second boy stands beside the women and peeks out from behind a lattice
window pane. There is a sheet of paper on the
cobbler’s counter and a bird cage hangs between him and his customer. Tree branches
are visible in the background. Full
