Public Domain

Artist / maker

George Minne (draftsmen (artists))

Date

1887

Period

19th century

Collection

Museum of Fine Arts Ghent
Although The Shoemaker stands alone in George Minne's oeuvre, it fits in with the typical 19th-century interest in craftsmanlike indoor scenes. There is a similarity to a painting by Ferdinand Hodler from 1883 (Zurich, Kunsthaus) with almost identical elements.
