About the workThe small drawing by an unknown artist offers us a privileged vantage point: together with the painter in the picture, we look at the painting he is working on while his assistants prepare another canvas. In a showroom adjacent to the workshop, potential buyers inspect the already finished paintings. The functions of the studio, both as a workshop and a place of representation, are cleverly linked by the visual axis leading into the background.
