Abstract:

A rotund cobbler leans against a table in his shop, looking down at a cup of tea he stirs with his right hand, a teapot sitting beside the cup and saucer on the table. He holds a knife in his left hand and wears a large coat, an apron, and a looped tricorne with a pipe in it. Behind him on the table is a bucket, with tufts of horse hair beside it that extend onto the floor below, partially obscuring several pairs of shoes in the process of being made.
